I had two flats really early, so it was really annoying because you see the peloton in front of you and you know that they are saving a little bit, especially the favourites, and you're there alone, chasing back. That's annoying. But it's like it is. That killed my race, I think.
I was thinking it was still early in the race, I have to make it back. You see them riding far away because you always have these slopes. You just have to go for it.
If you see my results on the road, I never actually stopped any race in my career, almost, or I had to have a crash. So if I go to the start line, I will try to give it my best, and that's also what I did today.
