  • Skinny was like 28th at one point, and at 13th he's 100km off leaders. Any ideas why was he so behind? Strategy to conserve energy or other issues early on?

  • Don't know if he has any issues, just the pace is strong at the front? Sofiane looks around 100km up vs 2022 race at this point in time comparing the replay...

  • It’s a long race and skinny was several hours down after the first couple of days last year because of a tummy bug. I’d be surprised if he imagined himself being this far down before the race but he’s got depths of grit and determination I could never imagine. I wouldn’t count him out. He also seems very self motivated and driven by his own performance rather than his overall ranking. He’s a racer for sure but that race is with the best possible version of himself. I mainly just hope he manages to have fun and get all that he’s hoping for out of the race.
