"Altogether it was 3,058km, 129 hours of riding and 49,337m of elevation gain in 21 stages. That's a daily average of 145km, 6 hours of riding and 2,349m of climbing. I loved every single minute of it. The early morning wake up calls at 4:30am , the sunrise a few hours later, the conversations with new friends, crossing the finish line just hours ahead of the pro's, driving to the next hotel, enjoying the local cuisine and breathing in every moment of a rich, intense experience."
"For the majority of the ride I used a Stevens Ventoux road bike spec'd with Ultegra 50-34T on the front and a 30T cassette at the back. The most important thing for me was not to overcharge the legs, so this gearing was perfect to keep spinning all day long. Di2 was a huge daily pleasure as well."
