I kinda have to look if I can make it that day, since it's a normal week day and not on the weekend.
Do you have some PTO you can use?

It has become abundantly clear that karma exists and Tibopino will win the Giro.It has become abundantly clear through recent interviews, team website, that Thibaut wants one last crack at a GC,and win a stage.
Frankly, that's the decision the race made for him.It has become abundantly clear through recent interviews, team website, that Thibaut wants one last crack at a GC,and win a stage. The KOM jersey isn't a priority (and to me, it's a mistake, for a goodbye tour you want the podium everyday, get the love. )
Tomorrow is huge then. Tibopino will need to show his bag, its color, and its size....
I hope so too but he should have ridden a bit smarter today, both in regard to potentially winning the stage and moving up a little bit on GC.Pinot is not too badly placed in GC, now. A couple minutes back. If he was fighting illness in the first week, maybe his form can continue upward down the stretch.

The very first thing Pinot should do is... unretire. Like seriously, what's he doing? He can top 10 any GT & win stages. Someone needs to give this man some 'happy perspective' because he looks so miserable all the time when he's pushing watts most other riders can only dream of.

His ride was crazy strong today on stage 13 but somehow that gets overlooked. We all know he's an emotive rider but he should be pretty happy with his ride & confident he can grab a stage next week. He'll certainly be there or thereabouts.
I think this really is his last hooray. Not in a negative way. But to me it looks like knowing this is his final season Pinot one final time took the determination and the sacrifices necessary to be on this level despite all the setbacks.On one hand, I agree.
On the other, I understand if he wants to retire on his terms, while back at a relatively high level, rather than fade away in obscurity.
This is far better than if he'd given up on returning from his back injury. And apparently the "continue until next summer if he wins the nationals" thing isn't just an idea he got himself, but a bet with some teammates, so if he wins it he can't just change his might; you gotta honour a bet.
So why didn't he drop time before the stage?He wanted a win and 7th or 8th in the GC doesn't matter. In the end he spilled his guts to deny Cepeda the win.
When referring to a 7th or 8th place in the GC, Thibaut was evoking an exchange with his team car, implying that in the valley the DS asked him to save take his foot off the gas, probably by fear that Pinot would be caught and dropped by the GC group in the end. Thibaut disregarded the instructions and went for it, which may indicate that GFC wants the GC to be the main objective and Pinot wants a stage win above all.So why didn't he drop time before the stage?
This ^^^Just off the bike, Tibo was abitharsh towards Cepeda
I can’t wait for Pinot to attack and EF trying to pull him back so JV can tell Pinot who he is, only for Pinot to win.
It's him or Rubio on towards the 3 Merlons IMHO!Disappointed but not surprised after a rest day. I missed the race, so I didn't get to see how it unfolded. Now Thibaut can take breaks...win one and go for the KOM, maybe. I don't feel good tonight.
