Elise Chabbey (FDJ-Suez): "It's really nice to wear a nice jersey, especially in the Tour de France. It really means something, it means something to everyone. It's a huge honour to be able to wear it tomorrow. It wasn't planned at all. I admit I thought the points were there before [the first climb]! I hadn't realized the points were for this climb. I felt really good today. In the end, it was more by covering an attack that I got the points. But I'm really happy! Keeping the jersey isn't the priority, because the idea remains to go for the Yellow Jersey with Demi Vollering. We have to get our legs going, but I think we rode well as a team. In the end, a gap opened up, and she lost a little time. She was perhaps missing some teammates at the end. It's true that my legs failed me in the last 500 meters, because I had also made a lot of effort. But it was only a few seconds, so I'm not too worried about the rest. This crowd were really fun, at the start, all along the roads, it's pushing women's cycling up a notch and it gives you wings!”
