“I’m disappointed I didn’t manage to win, especially after yesterday’s masterclass”, De Vries said. “I went into this stage feeling very confident. I had a nice thirty-second lead and actually expected to be able to stay with her (Trinca Colonel). On the climb, she rode so fast that I had to let her go. I rode well myself, but she was just stronger today.”<\/p>\n
