Today has had a fair bit of down time…
Posted on May 28, 2007
It has been raining since late last night, and today is a rest day in the Giro.
The first food item (I think) I bought in Switzerland was a jar of Nutella. It was the real stuff too; ‘Nutella” branded. I love that stuff.
After going through a jar, I picked up a second, this time under the ‘Nutoka’ label. I am happy to report that it is superior in every way; price, consistency, texture, taste, and spreadability.
I of course eat other things than just nutella sandwiches. They’re good though. I just thought I’d write about it.
I skated a light/simple sprint workout last night, and did a technical practice on the track this morning, but this rain sucks. I was really hoping to hop on the bike for a longer ride today, but it shows no sign of letting up.
I took a nap today.
Yesterday’s stage in the Giro was awesome. The young itallian Ricardo Ricco claiming the win with the help of a [perhaps] stronger teammate Leonardo Piepoli. Eddy Mazzolini gave what may have been the effort of the day leaving the chase group to chase the leaders gaining a bunch of time, catapulting him into 2nd overall GC, while Bruseghin lost 9mins falling from 2nd to 10th. Di Luca, still in pink, attacked the chase group late in the last climb, leaving other favourites/contenders Simoni, and Cunego behind, strengthening his lead on them for GC.
Tomorrow’s stage looks to be shaping up to be spectacular;
Stage 16:
and Wednesday’s even better;
Stage 17:
Anyway, later..
(how’s that for freestyle?)
