The rest day came in handy

Roman was quite looking forward to the rest day: I think that everybody welcomed it. After all, we have some hard stages behind us, we raced hard almost every day, described Roman.

The Tinkoff-Saxo squad is satisfied with the performance, Alberto Contador keeps the pink jersey. “Some might say that it is too soon to have the maglia rosa but it will be necessary to ride up front to avoid crashing in the upcoming stages, anyway,” he admitted. “It might cost us more energy but thanks to having the jersey we will have more respect,” he added.

Alberto Contador had a crash in the 6th stage and hurt his shoulder. “It is obvious that something similar can happen to anybody. But his conditions is getting better with each day. He managed to get through the most difficult stages after the crash and I think that he will be all right for the upcoming mountainous stages,” Roman revealed.
