I cycled up Holme Moss with Ed Clancy

Well, when I say "up Holme Moss" what I actually mean is we rode together on the flat bit before the Moss, I hung on to him for first 200m of climbing while he chatted away...and then he was gone
 
Bumped into Pinot and the complete FDJ team this morning on the Plateau des Glières, they came up the ridiculously steep East side at some serious pace with Thibaut way in front of the rest, I was cruising down the 15% multiple hairpins happy to get a head nod off one of them. No doubt they’re getting ready for stage 18 of this years TDF

My friend was in Wales earlier in the year and the group he was with (1 semi-pro or 1 ex pro, I’m not sure which he was with) saw a guy in full Ineos kit and they were all joking about it when they realised it was Geraint Thomas.
He was quite happy to chat. Apparently they are on pain of death to wear the full kit in case they are snapped in say a brand and inadvertently ‘sponsor’ it!
