Today was the first stage of Paris-Nice from Saint-Arnoult-en-Yvelines to Contres (203.5km). I finished in the eighths place. The stages elevation profile didn`t show any difficulties but the wind made it grueling. Due to the wind the peleton had formed echelons that also caused several falls. Once again I had been in the right breakaway together with fourteen other riders. Unfortunately I made the wrong choices during the final sprint. I was too far behind and therefore I was locked. In order to avoid a fall I had to decelerate and satisfy me with a placement. I am quite embittered because it really could have been the chance to gain a victory. In any case today I proved that I am in shape and there are still many stages left for me to attack but at the moment the anger is dominating my thoughts because of the missed occasion.
