Pah Bear Posted July 16, 2017 Posted July 16, 2017 It's stages like today that makes me angry that Valverde took such unnecessary risks on day 1... This tour would have been far richer with him in the mixI hear you on this. But Val is not a bad TT rider at all and if I look at the time differences between G and CF compared to the rest, did he take too big a risk or did he just overcook that corner. But either way I think I'm just nitpicking. Pity he had to leave. Would have loved to see him in the challenge. This tours not over by a long shot either way.
Bonus Posted July 16, 2017 Author Posted July 16, 2017 Last Thursday night we stayed in a rather bleak hotel in order to be at the start of Fridays Stage 13 from Saint-Girons. The sacrifices we have to make! I took one picture of the Sign-On ramp the evening before the start and the rest the following morning. We were at the Team Paddock when all the various Official Vehicles, Caravan Vehicles & Team Cars & Buses arrived and we got to see a few of the riders as they made their way down to the sigh-in area on their bikes. . . . Some lovely kit out there!
