TDF – From Green to Polka dots

Hi all … Leading into this race I would have liked to have been about 10kg heavier, however the altitude lead up wasn’t what you would call a weight gaining friendly environment ….

Despite that everyone has their peaks and troughs throughout the tour and hitting it up late will potentially be more fruitful

My main aim is to win a stage but as you could imagine I have a lot of motivation to bring home a polka dot jersey to go with the green one!! It’s fair to say that you shouldn’t be expecting me at the pointy end in the prologue in Rotterdam on Saturday and for the first few stages I will look to keep out of trouble. Stage 3 will be interesting the cobbles will sort a few out…. didn’t think I’d be doing a Roubaix this time of year!. Position will be key on that day and you can bet one of the GC contenders will get caught out!

Well I hope everyone enjoys the watching the tour from back home. I will do my best to update daily and anyone who has made the pilgramige over make sure to give me a shout out as I go by!
