Cavendish’s victory was great, but it’s hard to overstate just how big Teklehaimanot has become over the last few days. He’s a national hero at home, and in France, he’s chased by everyone with a video camera, a camera, a mic, a piece of something to sign, by people who just want to reach out and touch him. The enthusiastic Eritrean fans doubled their efforts to ensure that they were the loudest, most passionate fans ever.

Right in front of us every day, I see people going crazy for Daniel - he‘s mobbed everywhere he goes. I saw a kid the other day that could well have had that precious seed of cycling planted. I saw his dad and his friends all blown away by a national hero in polka dots. I‘m humbled to be around this - I feel so small - like I‘m watching a giant explosion of 100% good. I‘ve never been around something like this before - something so, so special. I can‘t wait to see what comes next.

One last battle in the mountains.

Sunshine and Rainbows.

Nothing compares. Nothing.
