Either way.
Thank you Flash !!

It appears there are more than a few Paceliners dealing with overcompensation for their own private demons (regrets from their youth).

Oh, one of the few benefits of aging.

Kind of what I was trying to get at (and probably did not state well).

He's going to finish. He may even have a really good TT (his specialty).

After the crash the odds were very much stacked against him even being here to finish a TdF.

The interviews are the least of his concerns.

Agree 100%, and I said before, he's riding a toy with a bunch of other guys....hardly middle east peace or an answer to Ebola...riding a bicycle...and he gets that. So he's not that serious, introspective, robot like most of these guys are..so what. I like him and I am very happy for him and his mom and dad(who will be in Paris), that he finished his first GT..and the big kahuna of GT at that. Good for his team 'big boys' too, for selecting him.

BTW-he just passed the 2 guys that started ahead of him in the ITT..

He just finished his TT. Good for him. I've had two bad injuries to my leg and I still deal with them on an almost daily basis. I can't imagine being a pro and dealing with a leg injury like his...
