Riding the Tour de Swiss is an option

What are the odds of you riding the Tour de Swiss?I´ll make my mind on Monday when I am to discuss this option with the team management. I will decide, depending on how I feel when riding the bike, but I´d like to be at the start of the Tour of Switzerland. I like the race and it would be a good preparation for the national championship.Do you know yet what your next race schedule will look like?After the national championship I will take a month off and I will get back to racing at the Tour of Poland. Then I would like to participate in the Olympics and after that, the Vuelta, the Worlds and the Lombardy races will follow.With hindsight, how do you assess your performance at the Giro?It remains the same. I failed to step on the podium, which was my primary goal. I wasn’t coming there with the intention of winning a stage. On the other hand, it was one of the most watched stages on TV and I quite enjoyed it. It almost felt like racing on the home turf. There were so many Czech fans along the road and they gave me a tremendous support. Of course, I feel disappointed about the one-day failure in the mountains but that is the way it goes in sport. Up to now it has remained inexplicable to me what happened, why my body suddenly seized up and I think that it will be difficult to determine the cause of my burnt-out. You attended the team dinner organized by the Kazakh management after the end of the Giro. What did they tell you?Nobody made any evaluation of my performance. Even Vino showed up there but it was just a typical farewell party after a long stage race. We had spent almost a month together, after all.
