Chris has got some team behind him.

Absolutely agree. The team road a brilliant ride to set him up on Stage 19. He still had to do the hard yards, and boy did he deliver. Unbelievable. Glued to the TV the last 2 days.

 

Stage 20 was a worry, remembering his poor form after the Zoncolan so was holding my breath all the way that the 40secs would be enough. And then Poels came back and lowered my BP a bit.

 

Wow, what a show. Admit I've always been a Le Tour man and never got this Gen thing about the Giro, but the drama during this one made me think again.

 

Awesome entertainment.

He wouldn't have got the break with Team GB / Sky if he did not have that British Passport (thanks to parents) so he owes them and needs to try claim to be a Brit even though he has spent minimal time there, if any.

Brit only on paper ... and ancestry, like a lot of us here #soutpiel.  But lucky for him that he had access to that British Passport, although he might well have found another way to the top of the sport given his fortitude. I just get irrigated with the constant ref to him being a Brit and why hasn't he been knighted etc etc

 

Anyway on to Rome, such an incredible city.

I haven't seen the roads they are going to use today, but I think the finish is near the Forum  I wonder if they are going to give Circus Maximus a whirl?

I believe that he is registered with UCI as British.... so being such he is classed as a British rider!... so I mean British!
