Monday 4th May
Another weekend of high drama on the Self Isolation tour with mechanicals and rider navigation issues potentially being decisive in which team wins Stage 3 virtual team trial and carries their leader into the Yellow jersey.
Great rides from George, Katy and Abi showing how strong the DCC ladies are on this tour!! Super domestique Nigel was like a bullet train until he suffered a mechanical denting Team Merckx’s hopes and Pete produced a steady ride cementing Team Hinault’s chances of a stage win. However, there are still 7 riders to complete the course including SI tour favourites Stuart and Graeme. Not sure why they are holding back? Is Stuart more interested in following weather forecasts? Is Graeme polishing his TT bars? Stage 3 closes this Saturday so time is running out.
Joking besides its great that the club is enjoying these fun rides and taking advantage of our 1 exercise a day. Stay safe everyone.
