"I've got a real bitter taste in my mouth right now because I felt like I was better than fourth today.
It was certainly frustrating, especially because the team rode so well for me. Krists put me in a really good position and I chose not to follow him at the very end because I thought it would be better to slot in and watch where Roglic was.
But that wasn't the original plan. The original plan was for me to stick with (Krists) and I regret not doing that because it put me in a bit of a fight and then I got botched several times, pushed several times, and I ended up in a really bad position, and just couldn't respond when the guys (Roglic and Alaphilippe) went.
I'm proud of how my legs were, I am proud of the team and we are all looking forward to Liege-Bastogne-Liege. LBL is going to be even bigger for us. It's a monument. No Canadian has ever won a monument and I think that where my legs are it is certainly a possibility for me to do well there."

"He (Michael Woods) was clearly very strong, but he couldn't make the final he was hoping for. I think the team did a big job all day. Fourth in La Fleche is a great result.
It's always fun to race with fellow countrymen, especially with a guy who was really aiming for the win. And it's even more fun when it's a friend and a guy from back home
