On Friday I had been really tired because of the long breakaway during the fourth stage. My legs had felt heavy due to the kilometers I had been riding in the wind the day before. Therefore I had taken it easy and I had crossed the finish line together with the sprinters.
Saturday, however, I tried once more to get in the breakaway but it was impossible. I worked very hard during the first 50km but the others were too strong so that I couldn`t manage to break away. These last two stages were tough due to the elevation profile but mainly because of the rhythm imposed by the general classification riders.
I still have difficulties in climbing but I had been aware of it before leaving for France because the tests at my well-known climbs at home had revealed that I am not yet in the perfect shape. Everything is under control and each climb that I am doing now helps me for sure to improve my skills.
Now I'm come back and I will stay at home for ten days.
