Yesterday I was really disappointed to finish second but eventually, in the evening, I realized that being the runner-up in Arcalis was something no one expected. So this morning I was very motivated. The polka-dot jersey was the goal of the day. On the first climb I had trouble to stay with Egoi Martinez and then Sandy Casar got the better of me but that's fine. Right from the start of the Tour, the polka-dot jersey has been the target of the Cofidis team. Initially it was for David Moncoutie, but he has not scored any points. So I will do everything to try and keep it all the way to Paris. We know that to achieve this I must have the complete package' right from the start and collect as many points as possible We must make the most of the early climbs because I'm not sure if we're capable of collecting points with the best on the final climbs.
