Is that a thing? I didn't see any news. Where is he cutting back? He couldn't ride less Giros. He's done la Vuelta about half the time, I think depending on what the World's course looks like. Le Tour?

That was a good year for him. I wonder what the Ackerman-Bennett dynamic is in the team. Anyway, Bora has been all present and accounted for at the Giro both of these years while Peter frolicks in sunny CA.

I say the break survives.
Can we pause for a moment and admire just how right I was? One could be scarcely be less right and still be right. It's a gift. And the humility to wear it in such a dignified way.
