In the fourth stage of the Tour of Beijing Zdenek did everything to be in the early breakaway. “And I made it”, he told himself afterwards. “But it took a lot of energy.”
Styby was in the breakaway with four other riders. “It was a tough stage with some climbs. We didn’t get a big gap from the peloton and just before the last climb everything came back together.”
“However, I’m happy I could be in the breakaway. It was a nice day and at the end Tony Martin made it to 6th place which is nice as well. Tomorrow is the last stage to Bird’s Nest. It will be special too.”
