Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear dresses and skirts. Journalists should ask me more why I am riding so well this year. It's easy - it's because of my wife and daughter. Their support is neverending. Happy international women's day to all the heroes out there

Big shout out to the nice yellow guys at @JumboVismaRoad for taking the first two descents at a reasonable speed and for the rest of the pelo for making sure the 3rd one is also done the same way. There were enough crashes out there as it is and we still have 3 weeks to go

One of my favourite swannies never let the DS put spare helmets in the race follow cars. Even actively would take them out when he saw them there. Why? Because if you're helmet is broken from a crash, you probably shouldn't be riding.

Best of luck to the broadcasters today #MSR . If you need something to talk about there's plenty of fun facts about Latvia: 1. More then 50% of it is forests 2. More breweries per capita then Belgium 3. Better chocolate then Belgium (scientifically proven and unquestionable)
