G's survived the first mountains of the Giro - and the cable car back down - plus he's managed to dodge all the crashes of the last few days.
Luke's got a cracking crash story of his own from former Watts Occurring guest and training partner Michael Valgren, while he continues to warm to his role as the Giro's finest armchair critic.
Seven days down and G sits a very solid sixth overall, with a crucial TT coming up on Sunday. We'll have the lowdown from that on Monday in our next rest day pod. See you then!
