Being in the lead of a Grand Tour is a dream scenario for any rider. Once again punching above his weight on a major summit finish on Sunday in the Giro d'Italia, Afonso Eúlalio (Bahrain Victorious) remained admirably realistic about how quickly his grip on the maglia rosa was dwindling.
When asked about whether his family had yet reached Italy to witness the high point of his career to date for themselves, Eulálio answered simply, "when my family arrive, I won't have the jersey with me".
