150 KM BREAKAWAY

Thursday was also an eventful day for me. At kilometer 10 I had already been in a breakaway together with Timmer and later we were joined by five other riders. It was clear that the teams of the general classification riders wouldn`t have let us go too far away. I hoped they would overtake us at the last climb but they already caught up at the penultimate climb because my breakaway mates didn`t collaborate very well. Of course, after being caught by the peloton I fall back and I reached the finish with a delay of several minutes. That long breakaway confirmed me that my shape is getting better day by day. I still have to improve my climbing skills but the feeling begins to be good. It will be important to leave this stage race with a rising shape and to keep it for the upcoming classics.
Unfortunately the cold and the foul weather are going on. Let` s hope that it will change for the better when going to the south.
