Like a few days ago, Kenny Elissonde rode aggressively in the finale of stage 10 at the Vuelta a Espana.
"In the finale, there were lots of flat sections," he said. "But if we keep waiting for the sprints, we do nothing. I tried to go first in the group of 40 but we got caught. Then I waited for the climb. I had nothing to expect from a sprint so I went in the hill. It was fun and that's what matters.
"I hope there will be other chances. I won in 2013 and some very strong riders never win while others are more opportunists. It would be too simple if the strongest always won."
FDJ lost their sprinter as neo-pro Lorrenzo Manzin abandoned during the stage.
