After a relaxed rest day in the wonderful city of Berne and a great hotel, I got through things well yesterday. Of course roads like that are the natural enemy of sprinters, but I got along well. Now it is not so much further to Paris. The remaining kilometers with mountain time trial and the two short but nasty stages will not be easy. And just to make things worse, it will probably rain.

I would like to use this chance to draw your attention to a charity race to support the Deutschen PSP Gesellschaft, of which I am honorary chairman. It will be held in April next year. It would make me happy if you could be there or even just take a quick look at the rare disease PSP. On this flyer you can find some information as well as the name of a website where you can find out more about PSP.
