Hi Adrie, weird day yesterday at the National Canadian road race here, early break of 9 kind of non threatening riders went in the first 20 km Svein and I were going to play off of the biggest team in the race, 14 riders, as they had the most to loose on the flattish course with 2 of the best sprinters in the race. Well they let the break get 8 minutes, and they weren’t strong enough to bring it back. I attacked at after about 55 km and was later joined by 5 others including 2 guys from the big team and we chased for about 70 km but they didn’t want to commit to the chase and wanted to wait for the pack 2 minutes behind and chase with them. I tried to convince the that it was a stupid idea because ... |

...if we waited for the group that means the break would have 7 minutes with 50 km to go and the would never be able to chase it down, even with 14 guys. Anyways they thought I was the idiot and we waited and sure enough with 35 km to go the gap was still almost 6 minutes and almost all their guys had blown up, so I attacked again with my Garmin teammate Svein and two other jumped got on but Svein rode one guy off the back cause he wasn’t working. I went on with the other guy and got with in 20 seconds of catching what was left of the front group, very frustrating as well because the guy I was with didn’t want to work in the last 2 km and we just needed to keep pushing hard and we could have caught them. Always happy with 2nd around here, so I ended up 8th but because we are combined with the espoirs that meant 4th elite and just not on the podium. |

All considering I think we did ok on the course and that fact we were largely out numbered and heavily marked. Legs were good though. I rode in the chase group most of the day and was still able to go for it at the end. The legs were there just missed a bit of luck. Now we take a week off? Or continue riding for the moment? Thanks |
Christiaan heeft deze week een herstel week en zal daarna de training weer intensiveren om zich voor te breiden op het 2e deel van het seizoen. |
