With that it was off to the car, and a race along the off-course itinerary. “It was nearly me yesterday!” laughed the younger brother of Jaja. Koos Moerenhout was teasing Nicolas Jalabert:: “Today is your day. Today, Joken was tipping a break to go and maybe stay the distance.Īs I was ambling down to the start line, Evans and Valverde were looking ruthlessly confident and happily confident respectively. And it would be our target to keep Christian Knees in the top 20.” The margins are small, and we hope for Erik to win. Erik is so close … so close in the sprints. “We’re satisfied so far with how things have gone. I also grabbed a quick chat with Milram DS Joken Hann. How is Cadel? Is he happy? Bart’s expression doesn’t change, and I can’t tell what he’s thinking behind the shades: “For the moment ….” I hope for him he comes back.” We send Bert our best. “He’s better … but not quite as good as he was. I spoke to Bart Leysen, the Silence-Lotto mechanic, to see how long time Pez friend Bert Roesems is doing. the most stylish rider on the bike in the whole peloton.” He could be a grand tour winner one day, I venture. The team’s looking strong with Kim and Lovkvist. Tomas Lovkvist – best young rider so far. It doesn’t matter just now whether we keep it one day or three days – to have had it is the important thing.” but we won’t burn the team out defending the jersey. What’s the programme for today? “Well, we expect a hard day …. Mark Renshaw was trying to call home – hopefully his folks were still up in Australia.īrian Holm was also around, grabbing a coffee – “The Tour is going well, but the bosses aren’t happy.” No?!? Why?! “Because we haven’t got the mountains jersey as well!” Boom, boom. Lots of riders is the answer – Lilian Jegou catching up with his newspapers, just like Carlos Barredo. Adam’s expecting a lot of work, because the team thinks attacks will come against Kim.” A quick snap of Gelma and Columbia DS Allan Peiper, then it’s back to the village to see who’s around. We get to see him a little every night which is nice, but we can’t stay too long.” “I’m here for the whole race … it’s awesome Adam’s doing really well and the team’s great. Why? Because her little boy Adam Hansen was one of our diarists at the Giro. A stroll down to the Columbia bus had me bumping into Gelma Meoli – a daily reader of the site.
