Hanging in there….
Hi everyone,
It’s Sarah here again, I’ve just been talking to a very tired Tim. He had a really tough day today, with the guys riding pretty fast, much cooler temperatures and fatigue definitely starting to set in. He was saying he expected to do 10 days of this tour, he has now finished 18 days and it all seems to have caught up with him today.
He has one more “hard” day which is tomorrow’s stage of 179.8km with more mountains thrown in for a bit of fun, before the time trial in Toledo on Saturday and the final stage into Madrid on Sunday, and he is determined to finish his first Vuelta a Espana.
FDJ have had a great couple of days with Anthony Roux winning the stage yesterday and two more riders, Mikael Cherel and Remy Di Gregorio staying away in the break today.
I’m off to Spain tomorrow to watch him ride the last couple of stages and I will take plenty of photos to post on here for you all!
Thanks for all your support and comments, Tim really appreciates it!
Sarah

Excellent to know you are there with Julz and Hendy. 3 Kiwis – enough for a haka.
Well done lads
