Grateful to work in places like this 💪🏽 #toscana
Three punctures yesterday but still a great day 🤘 thanks for the roadside rescue @jacquesjvr! #toscana #bellaitalia #lifebehindbars
Filthy day in the Basque Country. Felt like 💩 after yesterday’s breakaway but still going for it and taking chances. In 10 years looking back on my career these will be the days I’m most proud of because its guts and grit at times like this this that enable victory when “it” clicks. We are desperate to perform, to get results, to pay back everyone who invests in us and believes in us. It’s right to feel disappointed. It means you care. It is wrong to let disappointment affect your actions, or worse turn to inaction. Last year in Paris-Nice I said if you can still smile you’re still in the game. Sometimes your attitude is the only thing you can control and it’s one of the most powerful tools we have. #keepfighting #stayhard #itzulia #paisvasco #bicycleschangelives
#itzulia breakaway grind 💪🏽although the peloton kept us on a short leash for 120 miles we still made them work to catch us. #paisvasco 📸 @gettysport

Artsy snap of @r_kreuziger warming up for stage 7 of #tirrenoadriatico. Thank you to all of our staff this week who worked tirelessly to keep us and our equipment in fighting shape, to the riders, directors, and coaches who maintained an optimistic, competitive, and FUN environment, and to our equipment sponsors like @ride_bmc @selle_italia who showed up for support. As always we strive for excellence to change lives with @qhubeka. I struggled this week but gave my absolute every day because good things come to those who work hard, work smart, and stay positive. Trust in the process. Onward and upward! . . . . #bicycleschangelives #tirrenoadriatico #Timetrial #warmup #dowork #lifebehindbars #cycling #tt #aero #bmc #enve #oakley #tacx #rotor
Hands down one of the coolest races I’ve ever done! Race report is up in my bio! 📸 @damianmurphy28 and Getty Sport #stradebianche . . . . . #racereport #cycling #lifebehindbars #bmc #gravelbike #gravel #gravelgrinder #livingthedream
Really excited for my first #stradebianche. Newer races rarely gain prestige so fast, but Strade Bianche (white roads) with 65 km of loose gravel sectors became an instant icon because of the images, drama, and gritty brutal racing it produces. Every year is historic and this race has been on my bucket list since the first edition. Pumped to line up with @teamdidata tomorrow.
