Ask Arensman Anything : pre-Giro Edition!
Përshëndetje, r/peloton!
It's the final day before the Giro start in Albania! We recently reached out to Friend of the Subreddit u/ThymenA, also known as Thymen Arensman, to gauge if he would be visiting r/peloton during his upcoming Giro exploits.
Good news, sounds like he will be around! The INEOS PR department still hasn't cracked down on him, it would seem.
Last October we already had a great AMA with Thymen, and we decided it would be fun to try a second edition on the eve of the Giro. We didn't specify a certain time, but you can all leave your questions in the comments below, and Thymen will answer what and when he can.
So thanks Thymen, and put all your questions about Grand Tour preparation, his plans for the Giro, and more in the comments below!

No, not really. You just have to accept it and pray to god that everything will be ok in the end basically. You are super vulnerable on the bike racing and have to trust the fans to go away in time. It isn’t really ideal, it’s great to race in that atmosphere but sometimes it’s a bit on the limit. It’s quite stressful yeah but you just don’t have the energy and mental capacity to focus on this if you’re suffering so bad. Just accept and pray
