Postcards from La Grande Boucle – Week 2
The second week of the Tour of France has gone.
Unfortunately before the 12th stage Andrew Talansky had to leave the Tour, after a long fight against the pain, due to a crash on stage 10.
He tried to remain in the race until he could, he didn’t want to give up, but he was losing too minutes and he was out of the competition.
Andrew says to be disappointed, and proud of his team that supported him all the season.
Today the Tour is in pause, and all the riders can relax to restart tomorrow with a 237 km stage (Carcassonne – Bagneres de Luchon).
Probably this stage will be not the crucial but some attacks would happen: riders will have to pedal cleverly because this stage has a very dangerous roads.
