Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl’s 37-year-old Dane shared his thoughts after the tough stage 15.
Alone at the back of the race for almost 200 kilometers, Michael showed his huge fighter’s heart on what turned out to be a brutally hot day, keen on honouring the race, which he did despite missing out on the time cut.
Greeted by Tour de France sports director Christian Prudhomme – who congratulated him for the respect shown to the race – as he arrived at the line more than one hour behind the peloton, Michael talked after the stage about how he fought to finish in Carcassonne and why he now leaves home without any regrets.
