No luck in attack, but I´m happy anyway

“I felt strong at that point so I gave it a try. I opened up a small gap but I didn’t get a significant advantage. I soloed from the 1km to go banner to the 500m,” said Roman.Despite this, he was satisfied with the Tinkoff-Saxo performance. “They all worked really well. They were up front in the most important moments so that we wouldn’t get surprised. The stage was similar to the previous ones, except for the last 25km, they were very hilly and the tempo was high. At the end, a group of several riders got away with Štybar but we caught them after a kilometer or so,” described Roman the stage that was once again won by the German rider Greipel. “From my point of view, we managed the stage well and we are looking forward to the upcoming days when we will see the battle for the GC.”“I felt strong at that point so I gave it a try.
