  • Playing sport from a young age, my dad always said, "Never show them you're injured". Maybe it's a cultural thing but I find it unusual for a sportsperson to admit weakness mid-event.

  • @scorch I apologise! ;-) where are you from?

    @fizzy.bleach if I recall correctly, he complained every day about having had a hard day and being very tired in the short, daily post race interviews. so feeling 'fucked' in the sense of knackered, I can understand. If he meant 'fucked' as in 'Giro is lost for me', it would surprise me.

  • I was surprised even that Froome and Sky were saying mid race that he was suffering from the crash (which was pretty obvious).

    Perhaps this was exaggerated a bit, so that he would fly under the radar a bit before his dramatic attack?
