Kudus happy but tired and still learning
The Tour de France is a learning experience for 21-year-old Merhawi Kudus of MTN-Qhubeka. As he nears the end of his second Grand Tour, the Eritrean said, “mentally I am really fresh but physically I am really tired.”
He had planned to get into the break group of Friday’s difficult stage 19, but he said, “after the beginning of the first climb, I was last, last, last position. I came back after 80km or something but actually I was feeling better and better as the stage went on, and I did my best to help Serge [Pauwels] get back into the group. Really hard but really happy with today.”

Kudus rode the Vuelta a España last year but say the Tour is “completely different. Also I am a second-year professional so I am still learning. I still don’t have enough knowledge but I am learning and learning everything.
“I am the youngest so my future is really clear and I am confident.”
