Today we were all done and dusted in under 4hrs….. Nice!

I feel really good although the results don’t show it! My legs are ready as I’ve said a few times already, Im just not ready to risk my body when I have only just come back from a crash.

Thor won today.. Was really happy to hear that.. He is a good mate and today we had a good laugh about the few too many beers he consumed last night! The carbs obviously helped the big Viking…… Super good guy, and strong as an ox!

It was so dangerous before the final climb… I ummmmed and arrrrred about whether to have a crack or not. Half of me said yes! Half said no! In hindsight I think I made the right choice…. These pins cant outsprint the Viking, and as I’ve also said before, I’m not here for a stage placing! I’m here to win a stage, and to deliver cav to the line first!

Tomorrow we have another sprint day. Then Saturday and Sunday are going to be super hard. Back to back will really take it’s toll on the riders and that’s what I need. Whether I’m up for a crack these 2 days remains to be seen, but every hard day just tires everyone out more so for me it’s a good thing. I just got to pray that I keep improving so I’m ready to go!

In a grand tour energy saving is everything.. You may get one crack at a stage win… You have to put all your eggs in one basket so on this day you have the full energy reserves needed to win…. I’ll be ready when I need to be!

Will update tomorrow…

Hope your all enjoying the updates. Thanks for reading..
