Coppi e Bartali

Since arriving in Europe, it was a bit of a wait until my first race. It was great to have a training camp with the entire team following on from the TDU, but then there was a big block of…

Back in Girona

Days, weeks and months have passed without a blog update. The anticipation has been huge! Fan mail turned to hate mail, as my followers became frustrated (mostly my parents) wanting to know what the heck is going on in my…

La Fleche Wallonne

Three days following on from Amstel, and I was back in my race suit ready for another one day Classic in the Ardennes – La Fleche Wallonne. I have to say I think I recovered reasonably well, and was excited…

Amstel Gold Race

Coming into Amstel Gold I must admit that I was a little bit apprehensive about the task at hand – getting into the break for a 260km Ardennes Classic. A couple of things about this: I’d never raced anything further…
