If I have any advice, three pieces of advice: Just stay on the bike stay on the bike and stay on the bike. Yeah, usually when I go for the race I go to race. I feel really good. the only, you know… only the Achilles, but generally it’s…

Apart from that everything is great you know… Legs are good. I have a chance to make my… personal 24-hour miles rate. Yeah, fully in, you know? You know what I mean. The first day’s always like, oh, just started and you’re just totally only the race and nothing else.

I slept tonight for 20 minutes. Oh, lovely grass, next to the bus stop. So, so soft. Really. It was so soft. See you later. Because yeah, if I push at the beginning and I do this 1,500 km, let’s say, in two and a half days which could be doable probably then…

Will I still have energy to do this 1,000? Maybe I’ll be so slow over there that everybody will catch me up anyway. Yeah, hard to decide. We’ll see. That’s a good one. Yeah! -One more. -One more. Yeah, I’ll sleep. I’ll try. I feel too excited, so…

I don’t know. I feel like I should sleep three hours. But I don’t know if I can sleep that long because there’s big climbing to do a really big one. Yeah, I think I pushed too hard. And the next climbs, the little ones before Grenoble were steep and short.

I was doing it for so long. I had to stop at the end and couldn’t move my leg at all for a moment, but I put the saddle a bit lower. Yeah, it’s working but slowly. Well, I’ve finished. Yeah! Hey, man. You made it. How was the end? Final day Yeah, very long.
