Charlotte Kool (Team dsm-firmenich-PostNL) : “I gave it my all and someone else was stronger than me. I’m still wearing this nice green jersey and I’m really proud of the last two days. My Tour is already complete. I’m going to try and fight to keep the green jersey, it’s too nice to give it up. I have some good points already so I’ll fight for it. It’s a hard stage [Stage 5] and it’s not as flat as here, but I think I’m in good shape so I will try and who knows. I don’t think it was too hard this afternoon because of the two stages, but over 6 km is quite long for me. Normally I’m really good at half that distance, so this was a bit out of my comfort zone. I gave it my all and I’m really proud.”
