We didn't really look for somebody to replace him. For one there is nobody, not a strong leader like he was. Without him we have a very good team . . . but not the favorites.

This is a transition year, not in terms of being competitive but in going from being Lance's team to being a team without Lance. The goals will remain unchanged. Even without Lance, when I look at the guys here, we have a lot of good bike riders.
It was a very hard stage today. There were four third category climbs in the beginning part but in the last part, it all came back together. We knew it was a good finish for Max as it was slightly uphill at the finish.
It's good for the motivation of the team. It was good to have him around.
It's unbelievable what Lance did today. It's undoubtedly a good operation.
