Translation of the Danish post:
You're right in principle, but by implication, Evenepoel left no doubt that in his opinion it was a pure coincidence that Skjelmose slipped past him - and certainly not a fair result.

Remco did not say it was unfair. He said he was looking to the right and therefore did not see Skjelmose. No more, no less. You shouldn't be adding any more meaning to his words than what he said.

Looking forward to tomorrows stage. Just like today he’ll probably try to make a move, even though it’ll be difficult to stay away. Love to see riders race like this.

Looked good in the end after doing most of the work. Maybe not so bad this, so the others know they will lose time if they always just count on him to ride alone.

Hope he keeps kalm in the interview. But now he can blame the others for not helping.

Tomorrow the stage is quite straight forward, it's going to go uphill, he doesn't need to count on anyone else. Just let SOQ blow things up and then ride his own pace until people drop.
I didn’t ment only for tomorrow but also in the next stage races. Now they thought he would close it himself but in these races he’s not far ahead others as in 1 day races. Maybe now they will cooperate more. Just sit at the back and let the others lose, like what happened today.

He has no legs to make any difference on climb, and he looked weaker day by day which confirms a certain trend we saw already in other races

Remco could have used a good Van Wilder today but it's not the first time Van Wilder suffers in the cold weather conditions.

It's good that he realises that he made a tactical mistake but it's going to be a very hard task now to win the GC. I think McNulty and Plapp might falter this weekend but I don't see him dropping Skjelmose or Jorgenson easily, especcially since he hasn't looked to be a level above the rest the whole week.

I hope he can still salvage (at least) a podium and maybe a stage win this weekend.
