Today or tomorrow I reckon.Make or break?
But the dream is alive. Unless he gave everything he had to try and win today and tomorrow he drops on the first climb. But 'til then I remain optimist!Hope and heartbreak.
Hope and heartbreak.
Hope and heartbreak is not a one way ticket, but rather a chicken and egg situation.From getting dropped by Meintjes a month ago to this, from heartbreak to hope.
Yeah, tbh his current position on GC is awful for a stage win. He could demolish a break, but at 3 minutes will never be allowed into one, and on the other hand he's too far to aim for a podium finish (without some serious voodoo along the way).The legs are there to win a stage but it feels like he needs to decide how he wants to do it. If he's not giving up the ghost on GC he's basically saying he has to either win a heads up or trust he gets given freedom at some point (and that Yates isn't sucking along behind)
There is roads that go downhill so I think Almeida counts as shark meat.Yeah, tbh his current position on GC is awful for a stage win.

It is like Sanremo. The moment he stopped seeking, she came to him.As soon as he said he'll retire, the legs of better days returned.
Are we really gonna do this again? Hope that day after day he can climb with the best? Between him and Almeida I nearly gave myself a heart attack just for this one stage, I don't think I can do this for another week.Forget about a stage win. It's on.
Yes. We need to go a little higher for the altitude to do funny things.Are we really gonna do this again? Hope that day after day he can climb with the best? Between him and Almeida I nearly gave myself a heart attack just for this one stage, I don't think I can do this for another week.
