Then,
in the valley, approx. 20km to the last climb, a move was created and I jumped
on it, and suddenly, we were 4 and there was a gap! The GC leaders were all
looking at each other and no one gave proper chase!
We
drilled it at the front and at the foot of the last climb we were told we had
over 3 minutes and we knew we were going for the stage! Man, my legs were fine!!!
We started strong the last climb but no one was getting away. I was pretty
confident I could win the uphill sprint so I just controlled.
What
happened in the last KM is bitter sweet though. The guys decided to cross the
line together and at that moment I was glad to agree. I felt it was the right
thing to do. So we were all winners. Great feeling to be riding at the front
and feeling fine!!! Thanks Hunter you are the best!”
Awesome
job, Antonio!!
