Romain Bardet attacked repeatedly in today's mountain stage of the Giro del Trentino and forced Sky to chase hard. Impressively, the Frenchman still had enough left to finish the hard stage in fourth.
"I lack of competition days and I knew that the form was on the rise," he said. "I would like to win but the most important is that the team won with Domenico Pozzovivo. I tried 140 kilometers from the finish. I joined the breakaway but my presence destroyed their chances so I decided to sit up. The legs were there, I like when the race is aggressive. There is still a stage which is less difficult on paper, but if I find myself in front, I will try. Trentino is a great race, a launching pad towards Liège-Bastogne-Liège."
