yah only 23 points away after being approx 1000 away for most of the contest...
unless gilbert wins stage 19 and lopez (significantly) wins stage 20 and either roglic or valverde drop off the map for whatever reason,
i'm destined to finish second or lower. canam73 and i both have pogacar and bennett so that's a wash. bennett's in potential contention
stages 19 and 21. if roglic and valverde stay on the podium, that's 900 or so points at the end. really happy to have closed the gap
but too many crazy things hafta occur to make a change at the top. i'll be happy just to podium and finish ahead of slcbob again.
so with that in mind...gilbert for stage nineteen!
