Most likely not going to announce my goals next year. Let‘s see if covid still manages to ruin my hopes then.
For now I‘ll rest and enjoy home.
@YukiyaArashiro hope you enjoy the last minute three weeks Italy all inclusive trip.
Our new study led by Erik Mannerfelt & Amaury Dehecq uses @swisstopo's “TerrA” archive to reconstruct the topography of #Swiss#glaciers in the 1930s and quantify changes since then! The TerrA images also featured in our recent repeat-photos. @EGU_TC (1/6) tc.copernicus.org/articles/1…
Being a kid I had the chance, the luck to see glaciers.
„The face of the alps“
„Eternal ice“
Nothing eternal about them as the glaciers of the world lose around 300 Billion tons of ice every year.
I hope future generations can experience glaciers too.
That’s why I donate 1 CHF per rider that finishes behind me in every race of this 2022 season towards the fight against climate change.
So far 3341 riders have finished behind me. #raceforacause
If you were a kid 18k yrs ago you would have seen not much but glaciers in the Northern Hemispheres. Climate change has been with us forever. The difference is the green grifters have now turned it into a industrial money maker !
Well, let’s use a more appropriate term then. I am a strong believer that we are experiencing a climate crisis. A climate crisis that we, as human beings are responsible for!
The rate at which the earth is warming is alarming. In my humble opinion we better act now!
The Vuelta is done and dusted, it was a great experience and a race I’ll remember for a long long time!
After going through all the comments, I found that @justdiggit was the most liked comment!
As said in my previous tweet I’ll add 10 Euros for every rider in GC too! (1370)
Donation of 4529 Euros will be done today!
Thanks to all of you who supported me throughout this Vuelta!
Recover and up we go to the next! 😴
There we go. Gino, thanks for a great race, for supporting such a noble cause and good luck for the rest of the season. It has been a pleasure sharing these three weeks with you !!

Hey @maedergino. You didn't win the Vuelta but your white jersey is worth a donation. I'll give €1000 (1085.7 CHF) to the environmental organisation that has been chosen.
You're an example for many.
@lavuelta
Each rider I beat on every stage equals 1 euro that I‘ll spend to an environmental organisation.
To decide where the money should go, write in the comments where it‘s best invested! The comment with the most likes at the end of the three weeks get‘s chosen.
Stage 17: 150 riders beaten.
Also on a negative side, I got fined for a sticky bottle, rightfully so. It was unnecessary and stupid. The fine is 200 CHF and as it is really deserved, I‘ll add this to my total as well. Sorry
New total: 2651
Say it wasn‘t me that teached you sticky bottles! 😉 i‘ ll ad my 100 bucks fine i got from @UCI_cycling in hungary for teaching a young gun how to ride behind a car and in the convoy to your good cause!

It was not even on the climb, but after the downhill. Was just stupid.
Thank you so much for supporting me throughout this Vuelta like this! Together till the end!
