Power?
And there was enough left to win the TT. Wow.
As Bruce suggested probably win the sprint on the Champs today as well.

He didn't contest it. Rode home with Vin and the other 3 remaining team mates.

In Mallorca and did my highest climb to date today in Sa Calobra.

Absolutely mind blowing climb.

It’s a crappy cannondale hire so should be fine. Lock up in the hotel so it’s nice and safe.

Bad crash just reported at the velopark today. Matt Walls, Matt Bostock and at least one spectator hospitalised. Hope its precautionary.

This can’t be healthy for you, you’re wasting away. You need a few cheeseburgers and chips then a few Chinese meals washed down with lashing of health giving beer and wine…that‘ll sort you out….

When you're on top of the climb there's no better place to be in the world. When you're struggling though it's a prolonged form of torture.

Especially in 33 plus degree heat. It was relentless!

A family gave me a can of coke at the top of Puig which nearly made me cry haha.
