Mikel Landa (Soudal Quick Step), seventh overall in the Tour, commented at the finish line in Villeneuve-Sur-Lot that the stages held “at such speed and in such heat leave you with double pain” in your legs .
“It was a very hot day and we were very fast all day. I look forward to a calmer day. In the conditions we have the leg pain is doubled“, said the Alava cyclist in a funny tone.
Landa expected a calmer day, but between the rest of the day and the chasing teams of sprinters, the fastest time was met, at 47.5 km / hour.
“There is no option to rest. It was not as difficult a stage as yesterday in Lioran, but it was very difficult. “We are going to see what happens tomorrow, in theory calm, but there is a wind forecast and that means there will be nerves,” he concluded.
