TDFF stage 5, TDP, La Vuelta beckons

"I was like, I cannot let Faulkner go. Because I made the same mistake in the Olympics (fourth place). I was suffering so much but I knew if I would survive this small climb, then maybe I can win. The Olympics gives me a lot of confidence because I was racing in the front. So I know if I have a good day I can be in the front."

-Blanka Vas raced to her first TDFF stage victory winning a five-woman sprint on stage 5 Bastogne-Amenville.
