I’ve ridden a lot of really challenging prologues this year, and the Dauphine proved to be no exception. I was definitely a bit empty tonight, and I suffered climbing toward the finish. I wound up about 45 seconds behind the leaders. It’s tough to see myself finish so far back, but patience is a big part of this game.
I’ll be back with another wrap up after stage 2.

Until then, thanks for reading.

You left out the reason he said he was "a bit empty". He said he ate something bad that had bothered him for the previous 2-3 days.
