The first 10 km or so were neutralised again. I stopped for a pee near the end of the neutralised section and ended up some way back&nbsp; at the beginning of the first hill. Ooops. Anyway, I cruised along with the bunch that I ended up with all the way to the finish line. The stage seemed to suit my legs a bit better.<\/p>\n<p>The climb out of Radenthein seemed not too bad and I found myself riding off the front of the bunch for a bit. I made sure I did no work on the long flat descent and then managed to stay with the bunch on the last longer climb. I stayed near the front for the last descent and jumped on a few wheels and then was in a good position for the last 200 m up hill to the finish. I put a bit of distance between me and the next guy and crossed the finish line in first\u2026 Ermm\u2026 first in my bunch\u2026 so really, something silly like 124th of 241.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to compare my result with the last time I rode the stage in 2014 but the organisers have cunningly snuck in an extra 14 km and perhaps 300 m more climbing. Very cunning.<\/p>\n<p>I finished in 03:14:41.2.
