Kim Le Court-Pienaar (AG Insurance-Soudal Team): "I wasn’t feeling so good actually before the stage. For a few days actually I've been going through some stuff, but I try to put it under the duvet and kind of hide it and try and manage it as best as possible. I've got a really good team around me and on the last climb it was really difficult for me personally. My body just completely shut off, but then I just never gave up. I just kept on looking at my own tempo, my own numbers, all the way to the top. Then I had to do the best descent of my life. I think with my whole team working so hard this whole week it's really, really difficult to give up. You just don't want to disappoint them and disappoint the people that came all the way to see me or watching me all the way from Mauritius and overseas and supporting me. I had to really fight deep. I've got a really strong mindset, so I think that's my advantage. I knew the downhill. I reconned it before with the team. So I just had to do the best downhill of my life and try and kill myself a few times and a few hairpins and yeah I got back. I’m pretty happy I got back. [Do you still believe it's possible to keep the yellow jersey until the end in Chattel?] I don't know. It depends how good I recover tonight. It depends how my body will be through the night. We'll just take it day by day. My teammate Sarah [Gigante] is looking really good. I think she's actually feeling really chilled and at ease in this tour so far, so I think tomorrow is going to be fireworks."
