We rode for Kiserlovski

He tried to attack with Carrera on the last climb Col de la Mure and then Kiserlovski took the push ahead.”I think it was a great plan. Vino tried to attack first and then I followed. We knew that they would be closely watching us. Kiserlovski stayed at the front but eventually we failed to take the stage win. We can be quite happy about the outcome after all. When we decided to ride for him he was game. In return I can rely on his help at the Giro,” Roman said.“I had good legs on the last climb but I still lack the racing rhythm. I lost contact with the leading group with 500m to go but I rejoined them again. I think I can be pleased with my performance. I still want to suffer every day as much as possible aiming for a good result but I no longer think of fighting for  the podium like I did last year. It is obvious that a couple of riders are in a slight better condition than me,” added Roman who arrived at the finish in group with Hesjedal, Wiggins, Leipheimer, F.Schleck and some others.5th stage (193 km): 1st Andreas Klöden (Ger/RadioShack) 4:59:00, 2nd Samuel Sánchez (Spa/Euskaltel), 3rd Matteo Carrara (Ita/Vacansoleil), 4th Tony Martin (Ger/HTC-Highroad), 5th Rein Taaramae (Est/Cofidis), 6th Robert Kiserlovski (Cro/Astana), 7th Janez Brajkovic (Slo/RadioShack). 8th Xavier Tondo (Spa/Movistar), 9th Luis-Leon Sanchez (Spa/Rabobank) +18, 10th Pierre Rolland (Fra/Europcar), … 21st Roman Kreuziger (Cze/Astana) +19.Overall: 1st Klöden 24:26:13, 2nd S.
