Our team kept us out of the wind

As expected, the second stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico race was decided after a bunch sprint. No significant changes have occurred in the GC and Roman with his Tinkoff-Saxo teammates were glad to have survived the dangerous finale unscathed.

“The stage went down as we had expected. Five riders rode away and mainly the sprinter´s teams were chasing them down. Towards the end, we did two 20km laps and there were many crossroads, roundabouts, corners and speedbumps along the way. So, for this reason, we were trying to stay up front to avoid crashing. Our boys did an excellent job, they kept me and Alberto out of the wind,” Roman described.

Tomorrow the riders will be facing a 1km uphill finish. “At times it is quite steep so we have to be on alert. We will get the feel of the climb during the stage as we will do four laps through the finish,” he added.
