Serial: Tour de France

Roman won´t definitely have good memories of the 2011 Tour de France edition. His hopes for the overall position were dashed after a crash and the wrist injury. He didn’t succeed in taking his coveted stage victory, either.

Roman entered the final time trial that saw significant changes in the overall classification without any ambitions. Cadel Evans is close to his first Tour victory and the last stage will hardly change anything.

Roman suffered through another mountain stage and was unable to stay in the first group.” I was feeling really bad today and I was seriously considering calling it quits,” he admitted.

Roman appreciated the solo ride of Andy Schleck in the 18th stage of the Tour in which he came home in a relatively big group, losing more than 30 minutes on the winner. “I suffered a lot today,” he admitted.

He felt disappointed that his planned move didn’t work out. Roman was unlucky in attempt to catch the right group but he is not throwing in the towel.
