El Cubano va como un avion.

Went training with the guys, but everyone split off at one point or another and it ended up just being the Cuban and I. We rolled for 3.5 hrs, with 3 significant climbs which he hammered and I tried to stay within sight. He’s really strong, and it’s fun just being able to hang for 30 minutes of a 45 minute climb. It turns out the last climb had been featured in another stage of a Vuelta de Espana a few years ago. I could easily see why.
Big day on the bike… on of my biggest ever. And now I'm super tired. Rest of the day included a nap and tons of food.
One quote comes to mind: “Cyclists never stand when they can sit, and never sit when they can lie down.”
