Tour de France Stage 12: Reaction

For NTT Pro Cycling (http://www.NTTProCycling.com) Michael Gogl had a very strong day as he finished with themaillot jaunegroup in 16th position, just over 2 minutes behind the Swiss winner.

While Max Walscheid was part of an early group that featured in the breakaway for a large portion of the day.

The plan was to go in the breakaway with a bigger group of riders but then four riders including Max Walscheid, went up the road and then Bora controlled the stage and it came down to the final two climbs.

I managed to go in the breakaway on the first of the two climbs and then I was in the front just chasing the few guys out there but in the last climb unfortunately I didn’t have the legs and I had to go my own speed and I came back to the peloton and in the end it was a sprint for the minor places.

As the say the legs don’t lie and that’s what I take from today.
