A few days after Volta a Catalunya finished, I found myself heading off to the Basque Country for the 186km one day race GP Indurain. We took the train from Barcelona to Pamplona which was a comfortable 4 hour journey…

As I climbed onto the team bus 28 minutes down on the winner of Stage 6 in Volta a Catalunya, a few of the guys had already showered, eaten recovery food, and were on their way for a massage. Pierre…

There must be something about my birthday! Or is it Adelaide? 

Well, wasn’t the 2017 nationals interesting?! I have to admit I am still a bit disappointed about what happened. But I am also very happy with my performance and can take lots of confidence away. I gave it a good…

Well, Brabantse Pijl is done and dusted, and I can say I’ve raced a Belgium classic. I won’t get into too much detail regarding the results, because we didn’t really have anything to speak of. Instead, it was a good…

Paris-Camembert went a little bit better than Route Adelie de Vitre. Although we didn’t come away with our body weight in cheese (the prize for first place?!) I managed to make it around with the front group, and Sam Spokes…

Route Adelie de Vitre. This was my first race in Europe, and I was very happy to wake up with slightly warmer temperatures than the previous few days and wind forecasts of less than 10km/h. The same can’t be said…
