5x3.86km laps. As i don't have road bicycle (cycling on MTB) i knew that i hardly could keep my position. Started together with Arūnas Balčiūnas, but i could not keep his pace. At the second lap one more guy with a road bicycle overtook me. Later a young guy caught me up and asked if we could work together. At the 4th lap i had a bad muscle cramp in the left calf and could not bend my leg for some ~20sec. Lost contact with a young guy, but soon two other guys caught me up and together with them we pursued a young guy and finished cycling stage all together.
