Giro D’Italia’s Occurring
Remco Evenepoel’s strong start in the Giro d’Italia this year gave hope to many Belgian cycling fans. When a positive covid test knocked him out of the race, I kept tracking the race via the daily summary on Sporza and by listening to Geraint Thomas’ Watts Occurring podcast.
G, as Geraint is referred to, is one cool dude. Unfazed, even keeled, humble, and thankful of his team mates. I became a big fan. Even when he lost the maglia rosa, the pink leader jersey, to Primoz Roglic, he was graceful.
The moment of the Giro d’Italia came a day later. G served up the final sprint for a retiring Mark Cavendish, his friend, even though Mark was riding on another team.
