Purito assures fight until the end of the Tour despite being far from Froome in the general classification.

In the Plumelec finish, Spanish Joaquim 'Purito' Rodríguez (Katusha) was conclusive and stated that "the time trial" for his team "has been fatal". "It has been too long for us. We started with difficulties because someone was left behind. For example, Tiago Machado has not been up to par. Five of us arrived. If it is difficult with nine, imagine with five", he lamented.

Despite being in 18th position overall, 3.52 minutes behind the leader, Chris Froome, the Catalan cyclist does not give up and announces that he will continue fighting to be at the front. "The Tour is not over yet. Another stage begins with the mountains and I will try to be with the best. It is not all said yet", he concluded.
