Florian Lipowitz: "We managed things quite well but it was much harder than I expected"

"The start was super hard, with a lot of stress, and then there was a small crash and I was involved. I went down but it’s nothing. I was super happy that the team gave everything to bring me back. In the end, we managed it quite well but it was a super hard day, much harder than I expected, until we hit the last climb. Then it became a bit easier. After the whole week, I’m happy we get a rest day tomorrow.

For sure I’m surprised. I came here without any goal and being up there is incredible. I’m super happy and I hope I’ll have the same legs for the third week.

For sure, I already think about the next stages but I’m also super happy to have a rest day tomorrow. We’ll make a plan but if the legs stay like this, I’ll be super happy to get in the Alps. I hope I’ll be ready!”
