We are glad to have all our options open for this year’s Tour
Fossano (Italy)
 The second rest day has much resembled the first. We had a press conference in the morning which was packed with journalists from different media. We are really pleased to have a yellow jersey under our belt and to have all our options open for this year’s Tour de France. Afterwards, we had a light breakfast followed by a two hour training session before taking it easy for the rest of the day.
My family was with me on the first rest day and on this second day of relaxation I received a visit from members of my fan club in Ghent (Belgium), who are going to accompany me and cheer me on through the Alps. Their faces were lit up with enthusiasm and happiness, I think we should always be thankful for this breath of fresh air, it really is important for me.
Apart from that, I tried to go unnoticed, thinking about the two mountain stages ahead and the rest of the stages which are so crucial for the final results of this race.
