>>116354 After not winning the prologue it must feel like torture to just stay in the race all those stages until the TT with all the thoughts in his minds. Cannot imagine spending 2 weeks in the grupetto while having that constantly in your mind.
Also probably worth being closer to his family and not make them worry right. Stage 3 alone with all the hail and rain must have been stressful for them to watch or even just know he was riding it.
