Today's stage I had written off for any reason, because it was not a real mountain top finish, but the ramp was the last climber so steep that it has torn up the field quite a bit. Always expect the unexpected. The triangle with the percentage of what was displayed during the rise, made it clear to the audience why the field is cleared today. And the chaos along the way did the rest, not only the police had to constantly push back the crowd, no, let the race director and the support vehicles to park the runaway at the steepest and narrowest points - sent.
When I actually missed the overhaul of clean Taaramae, who had lain so far forward? I'm still not left the TV! And he was still passed! Almost nine minutes were missing the brave Latvians at the end of the day's winner - hard! But the finale of today's stage, the group has cleared the contenders for overall victory are clear, I am assuming that we should have among the top five this year's winners.
