THERE ARE NO SECOND CHANCES
ISAAC DEL TORO LOST the Giro. If i'm being honest, it was kind of a crappy way to do it. From my Monday morning sports director's chair, it looked to me like...
... a bunch of amateurs.
Dude gets ahead.
In this case, the uber-talented Simon Yates who dramatically lost this very race on this very climb 7 years ago...
... gets a little, seemingly manageable, gap.
Rather than collaborating,
or just getting down to the business
of racing your bike like a pro who is paid...
... Del Toro and Carapaz have a stand off.
I'm not chasing
I'm not pulling
You should pull.
I'm not gonna if you're not
But, the silliness of that is not the take away here.
People are already saying...
- It's okay Del Toro you did great.
- Pink jersey for many days
- Second on podium
You're young and will have many more chances.
To that I say...
.... at best, it's a maybe.
I hope I'm wrong.
Let's be honest...
... there are no second chances.
There might be...
... more chances.
That is not guaranteed.
What is the likelihood anybody ever gets a shot at greatness...
- our team is flawless
- we're executing perfectly
- top competitors no show or crash out.
... that the stars align and we capitalize on our hard work?
Slim.
So, when it happens...
... lock in, and get it done!
