Second in Tirreno-Adriatico stage 3 sprint, condition keeps improving slowly

I knew it wouldn’t be an easy sprint but I wanted to give it a try. Although my form is still not at the level it should be right now, I was feeling quite better today. I’d like to thank the rest of the team for their great work, especially in the final kilometers where they put me in a perfect position. It was a nice sprint and close finish, something to be expected when you are against strong sprinters like Gaviria and Viviani. I’m improving day by day and in every stage, we will try to get the best result we can. (Photos Luca BettiniBORA-hansgrohe.

Vedel som, že to nebude ľahký špurt, ale chcel som to skúsiť. Aj keď moja forma ešte nie je na úrovni, na akej by mala byť, dnes som sa cítil lepšie. Ďakujem zvyšku tímu za ich skvelú prácu, najmä v posledných kilometroch, kde ma dostali do perfektnej pozície. Bol to pekný špurt s tesným rozdielom, čo sa dalo očakávať, keď bojujem proti tak silným šprintérom ako Gaviria a Viviani. Zlepšujeme sa zo dňa na deň a v každej etape sa budeme snažiť dosiahnuť čo najlepší výsledok.
