Race report from Bradley Wiggins
Today’s stage was a strange affair for myself and the boys after losing our team leader yesterday, Mr. Vande Velde.
On a personal note I continued to see a progression in my climbing by staying with the leaders until 1k to go to the summit finish. Seemed a little strange as it was less than a month ago I was battling across the pave with the likes of Boonen, Pottzato, Hushovd and company — whereas today it felt like and episode of ‘Lord of the Rings’ on a mission to the mountain of Sodor with the likes of Di Luca, Cunego, Leipheimer and Simoni!
Another epic stage in a chaotic race — Garmin are a man down but tomorrow is another day and we are ready for battle!
