Quick Round Up
Well, that’s it for another year. Don’t panic, we always have the Vuelta. I’m going to try and keep the blog going for as long as possible, give a bit of insight into the other grand tours and maybe a bit of domestic riding if time and money permits!
Thanks to everyone who’s helped with this blog over the past few weeks - big shout outs to Dave Le Grys, and Eurosport’s David Harmon for writing the Ventoux stage for me.
Thanks to my daily “Expert Opinion” who anonymously bought a bit of insight into the stages for us.
My highlights include David Millar’s breakaway in Barcelona, Dave Zabriskie’s bottom wiggle in the TTs, Bradley Wiggins climb up Ventoux (“He’s gone…. He’s BACK… No, he’s gone again… No wait, THERE HE IS… <repeat to fade>”), Mark Cavendish’s inability to lose, and Fabian Cancellara just seeming to be the coolest guy in the Peloton (that descent, the bow when he lost yellow, u-turning to fetch Millar’s Garmin gadget that he’d dropped, and finally taking photos of everyone whilst riding stage 21) - Gawd love you, Fab.
And finally, thanks to all the riders - those spectacular, brave, frankly insane people, without whom the race wouldn’t be possible.
