I wonder who else will leave to prep for Olympics , bet there’s a few who don’t start after the rest day.
Beginning to think Roglic may never win the TDF despite his amazing fitness and mental resilience to keep bouncing back from massive disappointments

Would this make you more likely to buy their products?

How can you be even be thinking of a new bike when your beautiful new fast bike isn't 2 months old? I noticed on Strava your average speed is constantly high.

Me climbing a mountain, are you kidding me!!?
Yes, the sportive I signed up for, was upgraded to a category 3 race. That also meant we had to start together with those riding the longer distance (109 km). About 300 riders in the pen, and me at the back as I only got to the pen area 2 minutes before the start.
The longer distance race was won by Michael Carbel, who finished his Pro career only last year (at the age of 25) when the NTT Pro Cycling team almost folded - and he didn’t get a new contract with them or any other team… He finished the race at around 42-43 kph average.
The weather was perfect (for me) at around 16-17 degrees, almost no wind and no sun. My average was 37.1 kph, which is also the fastest average speed for me ever in a real world race/sportive, despite being dropped and riding 15 km solo.
The guy at the red arrow is me “running” back to my bike after picking up my sunglasses from HID. As seen in the video, I didn’t make it before the front rolled off.
You see me rolling past the camera at 0:50 in the red/white jersey and the green Cannondale bike. View: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tn55yoOxUzO9gpIeciZfW5NHas9D89ih/view
