Green jersey after really hard stage 3 on Tour de France

It was a very, very hard stage today, 215km long, with very high speed from the start and four categorized climbs. The last two were really tough while the finishing ramp, although not categorized, was tough after a long and strenuous day in the saddle. I finished fifth, taking fourth place in the bunch sprint, and together with the points in the intermediate sprint, I now have the green jersey. I’m, obviously, happy to pull it on the podium and I look forward to the next stages.

Bola to náročná 215 kilometrová etapa so štyrmi horskými prémiami, ktorá sa šla vo vysokom tempe už od štartu. Posledné dve horské prémie boli naozaj ťažké, podobne ako aj cieľové stúpanie. Bol to naozaj náročný deň v sedle. Skončil som piaty a spolu s bodmi z rýchlostných prémii som momentálne v zelenom drese. Samozrejme som rád, že som mohol byť na pódiu a teším sa na ďalšie dni.
