Le Court – Pienaar: “A massive achievement for the team and myself”

Kim Le Court – Pienaar (AG Insurance - Soudal Team): “My team said we can take yellow today, but I could not believe it, to be honest I think I'm still a bit shocked. It was the plan to do it today. We also tried to take it yesterday, but then today we tried again everything we have. The ultimate goal of the team is to fight for GC towards the end of the Tour for the overall, but our goal was also to win a stage. I've come close twice, but now that I have the Yellow Jersey on my shoulders, it's already a massive achievement for the team and for myself. So we're going to try and stay calm and stay safe and not lose any time until the end of the week. The disappointment of finishing second yesterday of course was a bit upsetting, but it's a long week, so anything can happen and I'm still going to keep my head on my shoulders and we're just going to keep on doing what we've been doing since yesterday. Just take it day by day and follow the plan.”
