Tour of Morocco update stages… ?-?
I’ve lost track of the stages and towns. I know that there are 3 stages left and the race has 12 total so 12-3=… Ah I am too tired for math or humor this morning.
The team racked up another W on Thursday when Aldo won the sprint. He was batting 1.000 in the field sprints until yesterday’s stage when he ran 3rd. I’ve spent some quality time on the front riding tempo over the past few stages keeping things together for the sprints. We are confident that Aldo will win a couple of more stages this week. If he doesn’t, we might just leave him here.
The culinary highlight of the week came yesterday at lunch. Some of the Moroccian racers took us to lunch and showed us how to eat their local cuisine correctly, yes with the fingers and some bread. It was easily one of the top three ethnic meals I have ever experienced. The first course some kind of thin stringy vegtable with chicken and the second was lamb with dates. Both courses were amazing and hopefully the local racers take us out for another meal tonight.
Tonight I’ll get some pictures of the town of Rabat. When we arrived last night it was dark outside, but supposedly the city is an old walled fortress.
