The stage today was calmer than yesterday with good roads all the way. It was warmer though and staying hydrated was essential.

I felt very good since the beginning and stayed with the peloton to save energy. The final lap was a very hectic one, with small roads, many uphill. Perfect for me.

I managed to stay with the first group and made it to the final sprint which wasn’t easy considered the increased pace.  

Overall, I am happy with the result and how the stage went. The legs feel good and I am optimistic about the next two stages.

Next Up
