Fantastic Alejandro! Fantastic Movistar Team!

Fantastic Alejandro! Fantastic Movistar Team!

Alejandro is now 2nd overall

As soon as today stage finished, the riders took a bus to go to the airport. They will flight to Nantes where they will spend tomorrow rest day.

Before travelling, Alejandro declared that: “It was a really, really hard day. Already into the second climb I tried to move and brought Froome behind me. We attempted to liven things up and we didn’t found the best version from Sky. We took Porte out of the fight, a big rival, so even though the best possible finish would have been winning the stage and we couldn’t do so, we should not keep thinking about it: we must be happy about the rest. The team performed tremendously well and I’m leaving the Pyrenees in 2nd place overall, so the overview after this stage must be positive. I want to thank all the crowds cheering for us on the road and everyone supporting us from TV at home; this effort was for them.”
