i did an Epic with a tummy bug for more than half the week. Couldnt eat breakfast so my petrol ran out pretty early every morning. And partnered with a strong partner that wanted to race wasnt a nice experience. The tummy bug line in the medical tent is usually pretty long, as is backpain and saddle sores
A stage win is pretty big business. You also don't know maybe your race is over tomorrow, or you will not win GC. Maybe a Green jersey will be cool. Good to see my pre race favorites Canyon Northwave up there. Im not sure Beers and his partner had the correct tactics today by breaking away for most of the day and then got caught. I think he needs to look after the xco man on this long week. Bulls with 2 teams can decide a lot on what happens and tactics
I'm very happy for Matt as I thought he's got something. I just hope young rider's "racing personality" doesn't get changed too much by management expecting them to race more conservatively than the way in which they got their success. Cycling and sponsors also needs more natural type racers, almost without radios in the ears. Luckily he didnt sign as a Froome domestique
Congrats to Colombians1 on winning the Grootlem se dooswyn poel. Let me know when you're in Stellenbosch and I can hand over your ****. I finished 2nd in my own poel
Only 35 minutes left to change my team for the 99th time.. Need to build on my Epic podium Also got about R20k in pre race bets in, no food till end of July
Ariane maybe riding with Yana Belamoija.... Difficult Polish surname. I think if the team can work together 2nd favourites behind vd Breggen and Langvad
I have a Medium and Large for Sale from next week. Now trying to post an ad with all the specs will keep me off the bike for the weekend. Looking at less than the retail price of 2 years ago
