Wind and rain characterized the sixth stage of Tour de France. Heavy weather conditions that, however, didn't create problems to Ivan: "we saw again a storyboard similar to the other days, possible made even tougher due to the rain.  In the first week everyone is trying hard to stay in the front.  We all need to get along, the captains who need to avoid risk and those looking for their own opportunities to win a stage.  Today the team played an important role, and our condition is always improving.  It's a good confirmation for today and a good signal for the coming days".
