Mum: silence
Me: [24 hours later] did you get my message?
Mum: yeah. you said you’re ok though.

Here goes- 15700m left of what has been an absolutely wonderful Giro. After 85 hours of racing, two riders are on the exact same time. Both Tao Geoghegan Hart and Jai Hindley would be worthy winners, but I'm rooting for the Hackney-born Scot... come on Tao! 🚴♂️🇮🇹👍🏆
My husband is on a plane to look after me after this week’s mental health meltdown. He has packed up his Airbnb, his life & winter gear in a few days. I’m so grateful. I’m going to be one messy airport advert in about 4 hours.
What an epic stage of the Giro. Just incredible. A couple of thoughts:
1. Men's professional cycling at the moment is as exciting as I can remember. So many talented young riders on the scene, racing with panache and without fear.
2. I need to ride the Stelvio!
👍🚴♂️⛰🇮🇹
