For me, in this first stage on the Pyrenees, it was extremely important to get the maximum amount of points I could in the intermediate sprint. The pace in the first part was frantic, with so many attacks and counter-attacks. I spent a lot of energy but together with Maximilian, Gregor and Daniel we made it to the big group. Daniel did a great job helping me in the intermediate sprint and it’s very good I was first. After getting the maximum points and with difficult stages ahead, I tried to save as much energy as possible and finish the day in the gruppetto.
V prvej Pyrenejskej etape, bolo pre mňa nesmierne dôležité získať maximálny možný počet bodov na rýchlostnej prémii. Tempo v prvej časti etapy bolo doslova šialené a s množstvom útokov. Spotreboval som preto veľa energie, ale spolu s Maximilianom, Gregorom a Danielom sme sa dostali do hlavnej skupiny a Daniel pre mňa odviedol skvelú prácu, ktorá mi pomohla práve na rýchlostnej prémii, kde aom bol prvý. Potom som sa snažil šetriť čo najviac energie a už len dokončiť deň v gruppette.
