Froome Watch, IV

The world is going so crazy over the Chris Froome watch that even the man himself has now taken note. No close watching yesterday or today, because I was on some longer rides myself that got me to the tv after the daily Giro broadcast ended. Chris lost a little time both days, but a lot less than many others, so now he's climbed in the overall standings. Watch for him to do more of that as the hillier stages develop. On Twitter, Chris has linked to the website of David Kinjah, who through his Safari Simbaz organization seeks to promote competitive cycling in Kenya, especially among kids. It's where Chris got his start (as a mountainbiker, before switching to the road after moving to South Africa). Tomorrow's stage is a long one, and it should be pretty: Tuscany.
