Saving my legs for tomorrow

“The stage was quite edgy. The pace was constantly high, the terrain was hilly and we reached the average of 41km/h. I was feeling all right and tried to save my legs for tomorrow’s first tough stage. A group of some 20 riders is expected to arrive at the finish. If it happens I want to be in that group. That will be my only goal. The stage is only 110km long and there will be two climbs so we will see how it unfolds,” said Roman before a 210km bus transfer to the hotel after the stage.”6th stage (216 km): 1st Ventoso (Spa) 5:15:39, 2nd Petacchi, 3rd Ferrari, 4th Di Luca, 5th Appollonio, 6th Scarponi , … 28th Roman Kreuziger (CZE/Astana).
