Fast sprint on stage 6 of the Vuelta… 9th place

The stage started quite slowly but in the final kilometers it got fast with many splits in the peloton. I wanted to try for the sprint but I wasn’t very well positioned in the last straight to the finish line. I tried to recover positions but it wasn’t possible. (Photo Luca Bettini)

Etapa dnes začala v trochu pomalšom tempe, ale v závere to opäť bolo rýchle a pelotón sa viackrát delil. Chcel som špurtovať, ale v cieľovej rovinke som nemal veľmi vhodnú pozíciu. Snažil som sa to ešte vylepšiť, avšak nepodarilo sa.
