Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear dresses and skirts. Journalists should ask me more why I am riding so well this year. It's easy - it's because of my wife and daughter. Their support is neverending.
Happy international women's day to all the heroes out there

One of my favourite swannies never let the DS put spare helmets in the race follow cars. Even actively would take them out when he saw them there. Why? Because if you're helmet is broken from a crash, you probably shouldn't be riding.

Big shout out to the nice yellow guys at

Never a dull day at the Tour. This time by my own error hit the tarmac. I'm fine. More ashamed than hurt physically.

Not a win, but I'm still happy. When the strongest guy wins there's not much you can do. A few more chances to go one place higher, so will hopefully make you guys yell at TV screens again.
