Team Sky once again had strength in numbers		share this photo
With 4km remaining, Rafał Majka attacked again and was able to distance himself from his opponents. “Well, I am a little bit disappointed with third place after being at the front solo but I gave it a try. My shape is good and I felt I should give it a go today, therefore I went on the attack on the final climb of the day. Once again, huge thanks to Pawel for helping me. I moved up to third in the overall, I think all in all it is a good sign ahead of the upcoming Giro d’Italia.”		share this photo

Tao GEOGHEGAN HART (GBR/SKY) wins his second stage of the race in 3:26:32 ahead of 2nd Vincenzo NIBALI (ITA/BAHRAIN - MERIDA), 3rd Rafal MAJKA (POL/BORA - HANSGROHE) and 4th Pavel SIVAKOV (RUS/SKY). “The key is thinking about every other rider as equal. In my mind, all the rivals are the same, I am just focused on my possibility rather than on others’. But yes, of course, beating the likes of Nibali and Majka is big.” The 24-year-old has clear mind on his future goals as well: “In my career I would like to aim for the Grand Tours, but still remain open to one-day races, as I have always done since my days as amateur. My goals include also the World Championships and next year’s Olympic Games.” He certainly does not lack ambition.		share this photo
Pavel SIVAKOV (RUS/SKY) nows leads the overall by 27s over his teammate, Tao GEOGHEGAN HART (GBR/SKY) and 31s over Rafal MAJKA (POL/BORA - HANSGROHE). “Nibali was really aggressive today – said Pavel Sivakov, – both him and Majka attacked several times, and Tao and I opted to keep pacing and control rather than respond to the acceleration. In the finale, our rivals rode together, but Tao and I responded as a team, as we are stronger this way. And we also got Chris Froome on our side: having him in the team is amazing, his experience is invaluable for us.“		share this photo
