Green jersey at the Vuelta

It was a relatively calm stage at La Vuelta today and, as expected, it all came down to a very fast sprint finish. The guys worked again very well and in the last climb, with 30km to go, they pulled hard in the front, trying to break the peloton. I gave my best in the finale and although I finished second, I am now in the green jersey. I’m happy for that and I’ll try to keep it for as long as I can. (Photos Luca Bettini).

Dnes to bola na Vuelte relatívne pokojná etapa a ako sme aj očakávali, všetko vyvrcholilo veľmi rýchlym špurtom. Chalani opäť výborne pracovali a v poslednom stúpaní, 30km pred cieľom, diktovali tempo na špici aby roztrhali pelotón. Dal som do toho všetko, ale aj napriek tomu som obsadil druhé miesto. Som šťastný, že som získal zelený dres a pokúsim sa ho udržať tak dlho ako to pôjde.
