Questioned before the start by letour.fr, Joaquim Rodriguez explained how he intends to race for the KOM price today. “I feel great this morning because it's another hot day and we are going to the mountains”, said the Catalan climber. “It's going to be a very fast start with a lot of attacks as today's stage offers opportunities to many riders. I foresee a breakaway going early. Thomas Voeckler might try to be part of it, but whether he goes or not, if the group is big, I'll try to go for it as well. If not, my team will work to keep the race under control until we hit the first category climb [col de Palaquit]. I don't know the finish. I've looked at the road book. It doesn't seem to be a climb for a man to make a difference alone. It's more suitable for four or five riders to sprint for the stage victory.”
