Zwift Chat

No - I've resigned myself that I'll never be a climber, and I've come to realise recently that the laydeez like a bit of hunk . I love cycling but I love doing weights too, so I'll stick to all and just enjoy what I enjoy.

On Zwift it will leave me on the B/C border, and rubbish when the road goes up, but hopefully let me stay a decent sprinter (if I don't destroy the calf again).

How's your recovery coming on? I was off the bike 5 weeks and that was horrible. Still can't push much as need to make sure calf heels properly. Blinking frustrating when we get an injury.

Unfortunately my recovery can't start until October. The Op is 18th August and my consultant has said I need to allow 6 weeks to recover from the Op BEFORE I start what we mean by recovery - i.e. getting properly fit on the bike.

Yep Wendy doesn't like it when I get down to 70kg. She says I look like Tom Hanks in Philadelphia

Not a spoiler - but watch out for Tom Pidcock's descent of the Galibier

Heart in mouth watching Froom descend right on Pidcocks wheel

He's had years of practice on the hills around me. Scary but has been doing it since a youngster. His dad's a crazier descender.

Pidcocks descending is lovely to watch but It was Froom i was worried about, especially taking a drink at 60kph just inches from Pidcocks wheel.

On Strava it looks like you're doing pretty good prehab.

Good grief!

Can't be a better feeling than that. Descending like a stone then climbing like a goat

A very small stone, but still

Absolute awesome, to win on the Alp in your first tour

A talent worth watching for sure

 

[Peter Salt]

So if its a Brit that wins, are we assuming there's no way anyone could not already know and it's OK to post spoilers?

 

[mjd1988]

I think we all know it was Dan Lloyd

Thomas is unreal too isn’t he? Late thirties and still punching at the front. He’s clearly not challenging the top two, but still.

And froome! What heart that guy has…
