Pierre Rolland: "Chose between the Giro and the Tour"

"I'm there but I lack that little something that makes the difference between 4th, 5th, 6th or winner. The little freshness that would have allowed me to follow Visconti and Majka, the sharpness in the accelerations. If there was a stage to nail down, that was it, with no valleys, four climbs, a great Europcar team and an exceptional Arashiro. But I lacked the freshness to go behind Majka and Visconti. In the future, I will have to chose between the Giro and the Tour GC. If I make it in the top ten in the Giro and the Tour, it will still be a great performance. The last one, I think, was Contador in 2010. For me at least this is great."
