Philip Deignan's Vuelta diary: I was woken at 2am by my room-mate puking - auto air purifier

In the last week of a big trip, you tend to ignore most of the things that happen around you and focus on the three most important things of the time: your bed, your bike and your food.
You start doing things automatically.
The pilot and I just realized that I didn't even know the name of the town we stayed in today, not to mention the hotel, and we have been here since yesterday.
Although my hotel room was really good, I didn't get much sleep last night.
The first time I was woken up by the sound of a German room was around two o'clock A. M. P. M.
Christian threw up his knee in the bathroom.
Half asleep and half awake and a few minutes later I was about to get up and check him out when I realized that the sound from Christian was coming from both ends now, so I gave up the idea and just flipped over in bed.
Although he fell asleep shortly after he returned to bed, Christian was in the toilet most of the time, so we decided to wake up the team doctor at around 6. 30.
He didn't want me to take the same dose, transferred me out of the environment, organized a new room for me, and I ended up going back there to sleep.
Thankfully, today is a day off and we don't need to play so I have to lie in bed until 10.
Before going for a little breakfast.
Then I went out by bike with the other lads around 11.
To keep our legs beating, we had a rotation training for an hour and a half.
Because there are not many flat roads here, everyone likes to do their own thing on the rest day, everyone fights on the mountain at the speed they want, after an hour of rolling in the countryside, we stopped and had a cup of coffee and a little local Spanish ham.
Back at the hotel, it took me a morning to check things at lettkenny's house and pay odd family bills before going to lunch, pete Kenno and Luke Rowe's girlfriends are a welcome on the table and they bring a whole new topic.
Known for their very successful "marginal benefit" policy, the Sky team has little chance, which makes everything work like a clock.
Everyone has a daily schedule sent to them via the WhatsApp group message telling us when we have to do everything from getting up to eating and going to the races and meetings.
The rest day was the only day in the competition where there was no team meeting left to our own equipment, so I made up for lack of sleep last night and took a nap this afternoon in my rare deluxe single room.
Another thing the sky does is take our own mattress and bedding to the competition.
Every day before our arrival, team keepers arrive at the hotel and strip off our hotel room beds.
They replaced the hotel mattress with a memory foam mattress and replaced the hotel sheets with our own team duvet and pillow so that American riders get consistent sleep every night, and will not poke the spring into your back from a solid bed one night to another.
Although I rarely use a team mattress, it's nice to have the same duvet and pillow every night, although installing an air purifier in each room means you will never smell cigarette smoke or musty air.
Another benefit of Team Sky is that we all released the team iPhone early this year and also subscribed to the full Sky TV package for free.
Although I have set up the sky since the beginning of the year, today is the first time I have discovered the SkyGo app, which allows you to watch any Sky Channel at home, on the move.
Downloaded it for the first time this afternoon, I'm really happy that I can watch movies now, there are sports and other live TV shows on my phone or laptop, half the time before dinner, I was browsing the Irish Channel just to taste the taste of home.
Tomorrow, however, it's back in the race again, with something that looks like a flat stage on paper accompanied by a climb of about 2,500, so it's not easy.
My captain, Chris Flum, is still in third place for five days left in this wuerta.
While the penultimate stage on Saturday is the hardest stage left, we now have to be vigilant for the rest of the week and seize any possible opportunities.
