The guy is riding great and back to back awesomeness!! To pulse like he did is super human, watch similar efforts by Del Toro, he pulls off, body,heart,head all relax just to a degree, my job is done. Chugg up the hill and finish. Almeida reborn, rebounds multiple times in 2 days. The guy was just not done. Don't know what recovery time was taken from dragging at Yates pace, pulling off..dropping a little, seeing a role to play on destroying or disrupting Trek and Ineos from threatening Yates, lead, his win. And through absolutely killing himself Joel fighting through whatever, makes it back to Yates, gives a little more and it's allowed first take at the winning feast!!
Another short stage. I’ve been waiting for Gall to have a good day but hard to bet against Pogacar’s servants.
Pogacar is the Japanese bullet train to Almeida’s Swiss train of efficiency and exactness. When I visited Switzerland the trains were down to the second. If Pog’s train breaks down Almeida and Yates could be headed for glory. But otherwise they’ll be waving goodbye to end up with a scenic podium at best, not shabby in its own right.
Mate, in Portugal they do Senhora da Graca and Alto da Torre every year.
I've posted this before, but the good burghers of the Cantons don't want their affluent neighbourhoods blocked off and spoiled by a caravan of cycling yahoos and their attendents. These people have paid good money to live in Switzerland so they don't want their ambience disturbed by helicopters, motorbikes and the riff-raff of the sporting media. "Let them cycle where the poor people live!"
