"My form is starting to come together and it's been building nicely over the last few weeks," he told Cyclingnews from his home in Monaco.
"I've obviously had a slower start to the season but that was always part of the plan, but at Paris-Nice, and Catalunya, things went well enough given the form that I had. I've built up a really solid base and moved on from there.
"I got a bit sick but that's just one those things that can happen in the first part of the year. In hindsight it was actually pretty good because it gave me a month at home and gave me a strong training routine. I'm happy with where I'm at."
