David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ): “I came here to do better than my 6th place in 2019. I saw in the Flèche Wallonne my legs were good. It’s been a hard day and I’m just delighted to be on the podium with great champions like Pogacar and Alaphilippe. I followed the wheels up the Roche-aux-Faucons. It was really difficult. I went all-in, I knew it was a make-or-break situation. Valverde went from pretty far. I was coming back, coming back… And when I saw I’d be on the podium, I started cramping. Liège-Bastogne-Liège is the most beautiful classic to me. I hope I’ll come back to challenge for the win.”
