Sergey Lagutin – Head Coach

Today was an easy stage and was under control by the two teams (Lotto, Gazprom ). We only told Jan to try to be in the breakaway and he was very motivated. All the other guys had to stay around Filippo and they had to talk to each other before the finish and decide who is going to do the final sprint.

Today was a bit easier, with the GC being clearer and the bigger teams gaining control. The boys rode well, Filippo, Jan and I came together in the last 30km for the punchy finishing circuit. We did what we could and Filippo managed a top 20.
