Thats me, I think you may of see Jeroen cause I am home now (although leaving Tuesday again)

 

BUT, dude, lets run with knowing each other and tell me what you do and then I can say I know Blokman in the industry you work in. 

 

We both win.

I think we saw the doctor. But thanks very much . You're mates with a 60 plus, weekend warrior called Johann . He lies low in winter . Struggles in the alphabet soup in summer and runs a small butchery in a dodgy part of the Vaal.

Well done with the results . And who knows what today and tomorrow may bring. 

Keep well.......Bud ?

I'm really desperate to know somebody in world cycling.

I'd also like to get in on this action of making friends...

 

Johann, you are now friends with a father of 2 girls called Alwyn, who likes to ride his bike the whole year round, but due to the little ones I am restricted to doing 95% of my riding on Zwift.

 

Nice to meat you (#punintended)

 

PS. Kan jy nie dalk so bietjie vleis aflewerings doen in PTA nie? ;)

Back to the racing:

 

Another seemingly "easy" stage might turn become a tad more interesting because of mother nature...

 

Let's hope the World Feed starts earlier than Wednesday.

The way I see it is you the skinny guy and Jeroen is the fat guy fighting with someone on twitter [emoji6]

Sunglasses , taken off a little later during a short interview with Pocagar next to the bus. Didn't see the ink.

You can say you know me also, an balding, graying oupa of a beautifull little redhead boy, cycling so little these days that you can't even call me a weekend warrior anymore, BUT HEY, I DO KNOW THE MAINCHEESE PERSONALLY. Used to train / ride with him before his entry into the professional circuit. :whistling:

Listened to Johan Bruyneel on The Move a few mornings. He had him tipped for a stage win. 

Speaking of young guys. Any chance that Pogacar could take the white jersey  back ?

Would be tough for him to take it off SupermAn, but it is definitely a possibility, he is close enough to give it a go.

 

5th on GC in his first ever 3 week tour, with Majka 3mins back... I am sure he will go for it if his legs are there.

 

Still a great performance regardless of what happens in the last days.

Jeroen was at the summit finish with a grey hoodie on. 

Correcto.

with appropriate application on 'vooma' he can get the white jersey AND a podium spot. I don't think it will be easy though as he'll be fighting the whole of Astana and Movistar, though the latter might be waving at Nairo as he rides off into his Arkea sunset. I reckon he'll give it a go because second in young rider's comp and 5th on GC might be less than he wants, though in his first GT, that may come across as a bit greedy

 

gonna be interesting

Such an awesome photo. Keep up the good work.

 

Trying to look busy.

 

Man, you have got that pose dialed in, well done on the results so far. 

 

Also got a new hair cut so a double whammy

 

Slipping the one arm under the bicep to show out the the guns huh? Classic pose.  :D

 

Im built like a cage fighter....

Great to meet you, always need a butcher in the fold as I have introduced some of the guys to Biltong. Of which is a massive hit. Lets hope tomorrow is a good day and Pogi and the team is all in 150% for getting white back and on the podium.
