Last years Tour de France ended for Cannondale's Ted King and was dropped from the team time trial after struggling with a shoulder injury from a stage 1 crash. This year, Ted is back at the tour. I organised for him to chat to CyclingNews.com about his hope for the race.
I loved King’s perspective on getting over his disappointment of not riding the Tour de France.
"The first day I wasn't racing, I was heartbroken," King said. "One moment I was racing the Tour de France then the next day I wasn't. Then I picked up a New York Times and it just showed civil war, people dying and people starving and nuclear weapons and I thought to myself, 'my problem is not racing a bike race in France'. Granted, it’s the pinnacle of my sport but in the grand scheme of things, it’s not the end of the world. So yeah, I’ve certainly got over the disappointment."
