“I wanted to attack too!”

Femke Markus: "The plan was to have one my teammates follow the attacks for her to take the 2 KOM points and level things with me. So the jersey stays in the team and that’s the most important thing today! I was really nervous, I was like: “I want to go to the front, I want to attack too!” And my other teammates told me: ‘No Fem, you stay here, you stay quiet!’ And I was like: 'No!' And then: 'Ok, I trust you.' I trusted Femke [Gerritse] with the uphill sprint. I hope I can be on the attack in the next days!"
