Mexican shows his Grand Tour talents but loses out on victory after a tactical showdown

"Simon came up and I know he has experience and that he'd ride steady and smart. I think I could have stayed with him but I knew I had to mark Carapaz because he was the closest to me in GC. Yates was third and Richie was second, so Richie needed to follow him. I had 1:20 on Simon and so I could let him go a bit.
"I told Richard that I wouldn't work so that he could attack and drop me on the last climb. He told me he wouldn't ride and I said 'Okay'. Everyone then saw what happened."
Que génio. Não quis colaborar com o Carapaz senão ele deixava-o na última subida, por isso decidiu levar 5 minutos.
