When asked "how are you?" while riding you must proceed with one of the following...
Complain about coming off a sickness.
Explain you're peaking for bigger races later in the season
Mention that this is a "recovery ride"
That you are on the tail end of your daily 6 hour training ride
...
If in doubt, the euro cyclist shall mention in an interview that his pollen allergies are acting up, and that he’s not sure that he’ll win the Giro this year. In this situation, remember to note that the sensations are otherwise good, and that eventually you’ll win a beautiful stage.
Rob is living the Euro dream!
