Barloworld manager Claudio Corti said, “It was very hot again today. The team took strain and worked from the start, but they gave me results. Cummings is in good shape and he deserved to win. Of course I am happy”.
Tomorrow will be a rest day for the riders. and they will recover for Sunday’s stage which features many big climbs.
