Steven Kruijswijk is a rider he is often at the front. And during the Alps stages, the Team LottoNL Jumbo rider wants to be at the front to snatch a stage win. He has not very good legs as he explains to Telegraaf.

"The Giro d'Italia has been very difficult. I feel tired, "he explains. "As Alberto Contador, the legs are heavy and it is difficult to respond to attacks. I do not feel so fresh and I do not think I found that I had the legs at the Giro. But I will try to take the right breakaway. The stage comes at the top of the Alpe d'Huez suits me well. But it's complicated because we can not save power at this Tour de France. Every day we must give everything."
