We’re beginning to feel the southern heat

Today’s stage has been a rather unconventional stage in this year’s Tour de France. The break of the day happened early on and relatively easily, although it has been fast throughout due to the wind, which has accompanied us during today's race.
You had to be on the lookout again in this stage and it was more wearing psychologically than it was physically. The heat of the South of France made it a hard and wearing stage for everyone participating in this race.
On a personal level, I didn’t have any problems. I simply had to be careful when the pack broke up and with falls so as not to lose time or to lessen my options in the lead up to the Alps, which we will reach this Sunday.
