Luis Leon Sanchez, whose team Caisse d'Epargne finished the fourth stage of Tour de France in seventh place 1'29 "behind the whole Astana, winner of the day, analyzed the stage:
"We had a great time thanks to the great homogeneity of the team and everyone has made their share of work.
We just lost to Arnaud Coyot after 17 kilometers, which allowed us to finish with 8 men.
I think we have to be very satisfied with what we achieved today.
We set off early, which means that we have never had reference and that it became more difficult.
From a personal point of view, after the start of the Tour a little disappointing in that I noticed the fact of having stood so long, I better every day, gradually picking up the pace of competition.
I costs a lot more than I expected but I hope to reach my best level in the second week.
I know I can give much more than what I am taking now and look forward to the mountain stages and a half mountain to stay ahead with the best. "
