“Tomorrow’s race will move in a different direction”

The longest stage of the Tour de France has unfolded relatively quietly. This has been the first sunny day of the Tour, with a very pleasant temperature and in all honesty, it has been quite a relaxed day for the staff.
The final part, with the sprint, became more agitated and complicated as there was a lot of tension in the air. But nevertheless, we have got through it without any mishaps.
Tomorrow we will finally reach the mountains, where the race will start to move in a new direction and where it will start to become a little more organised, after the results of the time trial.
On a personal level, I am not familiar with tomorrow’s climb. All I know about it is what my boss (Riis) and my colleagues have told me. I know that it is a very demanding climb, which will not benefit me one hundred percent, but I think that I can keep ahead and this is the most important thing for tomorrow.
