It was a very nervous day with lots of crosswinds and continuous attacks. You had to stay focused and alert every single kilometre of the stage. I think we did a good job, Emu and Patrick finished in the leading bunch and gained some time. As expected, we had a fast sprint finish. It was a bit tense but still, my fifth place and the points in the intermediate sprint maintain my lead in the points classification.
Bol to nervózny deň s neustálym bočným vetrom a priebežnými útokmi. Museli sme byť sústredení na každom kilometri etapy. Myslím, že sme odviedli dobrú prácu, Emu a aj Patrick to dokončili v prvej skupine a získali nejaký čas k dobru. Ako sme očakávali tak etapa sa končila rýchlym špurtom. Bol to trochu napínavý záver, ale bol som piaty a spolu s bodmi z prémie si stále držím vedenie v bodovacej súťaži.
