Amgen Tour of California Stage 2

01

Well again close but not cigar for me. 3rd was the best I could manage today on what was a very tough stage.

After a stage I always like to analyze where I wet wrong or what I could have improved on to maybe get a better result. It only takes the tiniest of mistakes that make the biggest of differences in a sprint finish and today my mistake was simply not carrying enough speed through the last corner. This meant Sagan got a good run in my slipstream and was able to carry a lot more speed of of the corner and in turn meant he won the bike race quite easily. That and also he was simply faster thn everyone else which is also hard to beat at the bet of times.

However on the bright side of things, I went 1 place better than yesterday and got to the finish of a stage where know one thought it would be a sprint at all.

Anyway, just a short one from me today as its about time for me to hit the hay and get some rest before tomorrows stage which looks like it could again be a sprint from a select group. Fingers crossed my form aland results keep going in the right direction and I can get on that top podium soon!
