| Luca PAOLINI (KATUSHA) soling the final, very technical, descent to the line. “My team car told me I had a few seconds advantage, but I knew there was a descent ahead, and I am a good descender. My head was clear and I descended to the best of my ability. I heard that there were falls behind me, but we were all on the limit on the descent. 8km from the finish, I looked back and realized my advantage was big enough to win the stage.” | share this photo |
