This was a rather quiet stage but early on, I made Simon Gerrans attack for KOM points. Nobody followed him. Half way was sad,
Geraint Thomas of my team had a punture! :ohno: I tried getting him back but it failled totally, and he lost 9 mins and 2 sec...
By the end it looked like it would be a sprint, but since it was an uphillfinsh so there I had a trick up my sleive. On the second to last climb I made Flecha attack!
As you can see he won as Thor and Farrar are fighting for second.
