Levi:
“I took it easy after the Giro to be fresh here, to be strong here in the 3rd week.
Didn’t have the best day today. Glad to have the best time.”
Morning All...
…just got done with the Saturday ride, and there’s still Tour on! Whoo hoo!
Yep
Weather was amazing too. Sunny, not humid, not hot. For July in Philly, shocking.
Happy 4th! :-)
