Brajkovic: "I hope to keep the jersey".

Janez Brajkovic (RadioShack) has not suffered too much on Friday to retain his overall lead of the Dauphine. But Slovenia's expected to spend a day much more complicated on Saturday, with the ascent of Alpe d'Huez.

Janez Brajkovic (SLO / RadioShack), leader: "There have been many attacks in the first climb. It has been checked, it was left from the front runners who were not dangerous. Sergio (Paulihno) led the train. The day was pretty easy for me but not for my team. Alpe d'Huez? I expect Alberto (Contador) tries to attack. I do not know if I'll stay with him, but I hope to keep the jersey. C is it that worries me the most. "
Thibaut Pinot (FRA / FDJ), the third step: "Going back to Navarro, he would have needed additional 5 km. He deserved his victory is my first podium in a big race, I will not be choosy."
Christophe Riblon (FRA/AG2R), 7th in general: "My goal is to get into the top ten in the Dauphine. So if I can scrounge 20 or 30 seconds in a step like this ... We had planned to release the top of the neck. This is did. Then Blel (Kadri) and David (Le Lay) helped me. "
Alain Gallopin (sporting director Brajkovic / RadioShack): "The first time was difficult because we could not let a twenty riders in the Lautaret. Congratulations to the team, Horner, and Paulinho Lequatre butcher who had a hole in 40 seconds. It's two steps more complicated and may even be one of the last day. Sallanches circuit is a poisoned chalice. "
