ST7 : Critérium du Dauphiné :: Le Pont-deClaix - Superdévoluy (151 km)

“I did my best on the Col de Noyer because I knew it could have been decisive for the GC – explained Rosa on the Team Bus after the end of the race – today we went super fast since the start and I’ve seen many riders very tired, after one week racing at this high rythms… together with three other riders I gained the wheels of the GC leaders after just few km of the Noyer descent and I thought it could be good for me to climb some positions in the GC. Then few other riders have catched us from behind and the final climb to the finish didn’t allow me to do any action: I had also quite good legs but I’m not enough fast to fight with Martin in a finish like this…”.
