Second tough day in the mountains at the Tour de France

Today, we had our second, hard, mountain stage at the Le Tour de France and our plan, like yesterday, was for all of us to work for Rafał Majka. I attacked early and went on the break to ensure again the full points at the intermediate sprint. My lead in the points classification has increased but we still have ten more stages where anything can happen, so we need to fight every day. (Photos Luca Bettini)

Dnes to bola na Tour druhá náročná horská etapa a naše plány boli podobné ako včera – opäť sme všetci pracovali pre Rafala. Zaútočil som veľmi skoro a vyrazil som do úniku, aby som si zabezpečil plnú porciu bodov na rýchlostnej prémii. Môj náskok v bodovacej súťaži opäť stúpol ale stále máme do konca 10 etáp a stať sa môže hocičo, takže potrebujeme ísť naplno každý deň.
