It was a fast day on pretty fast roads. We all have enjoyed having an easy day after the Alps. The final was stressful, as always. The boys placed me well in the last kilometres to avoid any mishaps. Mende is a tough finish. I’ve done it a few times already on my career, and it might suit me well as I am quite punchy sometimes… In any case, it is a potential day for breakaways, so there should be a very fast, hard start for everybody. And even if the break goes, it will still be a challenge for the GC riders.
