Andreas and Cristiano, our tour directors, are happily awaiting the brave & strong riders at todays Hotel. Both knowing, what they had scouted out for us. We were not too many who actually decided to ride this hard stage today. Chris, Brett, Shirley, Daniel, Paul and me made it to the finish line. Annegrete jumped the van on the last climb, just 5 km from the camp site. Not even a sweep was on the track in the afternoon … Brett even extended the final short downhill from the last summit and went passed the turn to the hotel. He had to climb back an extra 4 km to get back to us.

Well Done – All riders are safe and sound at the 21!
