This could be the last (and first?) blog article I write about Thibaut Pinot, since he’s now working with his donkeys and goats in the Vosges, but I didn’t want to let this little gem of simple truth pass me by.

In the last episode of Netflix’s ‘Unchained’ Pinot talked about cycling, or at least climbing, saying:

“Le vélo c’est simple. C’est les jambes et c’est juste un combat entre la pente et toi.”

“Cycling is simple. It’s the legs and it’s just a battle between the gradient and you”

We need more farm boys in the peloton.
