– Sasha, it seems to me, so far the only important question is: how do you feel after the fall?
– Always like that. I hope it gets better and better, but for now I feel a little heavy on the bike. I still have inflammation, I drink antibiotics <…> 8 km before the finish line there was such a dangerous bend. I didn’t even understand what happened then – we were already driving fast. Everyone wanted to be in a good position before the finish line. They braked sharply in front of me, probably, someone was afraid of a small splitter in the middle, and I flew without brakes and flew into it. Tear down.
– Too bad, probably, to fall at this stage after everything went well on the cobbles.
– That’s for sure. This is the last stage before the start of the mountains, then the fall. We really managed to pass the cobblestones. Yes, there was a puncture, but there was a lot of time before the finish line, and I came back calmly in the group. Failure came the next day.
What are your plans and hopes now? People ask you what the top 5 is. What do you think about letting go?
“I just want to wake up and feel no pain. Let go of the rest of the thoughts. It is important to recover, and during this period not to waste a lot of time.
