The first stage after the rest day definitely proved itself to be a hard one. The whole day, the pace was up very high and the heat was clearly playing it's part too. Yet, our team showed their positive progression, resulting in a fourth place for Arnaud De Lie.
“It was a crazy day on the bike”, Arnaud admits. “It initially was the goal to go into the breakaway with the team but we didn’t get to do so. In the end we escaped together with a great group of riders but the final climb was just too hard for me.I tried to go for the win, but it was only possible for the strong guys like Mathieu (Van der Poel).”
Tomorrow we will head to the Pyrenees for 180.6 km's from Auch to Hautacam.
