“It wasn’t really the plan to go on a solo attack from that far out. Dominika and I knew we were among the strongest climbers in the group, and we started the stage believing we could both play our cards and fight for a great result. The pace at the front wasn’t particularly high, so I decided to attack even though there were still around 60 kilometres to go. I expected a series of counterattacks and reactions from the other riders, but nobody responded,” Blasi said.
