#being pro – stage 11

So yesterday's stage 11 saw the pros take on the same "hills" as I covered on sunday. Pierre Rolland took victory in 4h45mins. makes me shudder under my 10hr20 time.
Cav rolled in just before the cut off time, and admitted how tough the stage was, I can vouch for that Cav.

#being pro

While everyone is talking about Peter Sagan's weird victory dance, I am personally left in awe of Philippe Gilbert's shoe change, he managed to stay pedalling remove a shoe and put on a fresh one with minimal effort. I have just mastered drinking and riding, and no hands, and we have all seen pros peel bananas and don a race capes while descending at 40mph but changing footwear pretty awesome. After a little internet research its not the first time he's done this.
And while i am talking shoes, it feels right to mention my new giro trans disco slippers. They are pretty damn good, they're two types of black, they fit like a glove, they're carbon soled, and they're two types of black! I have been enjoying dancing in these of late.
