Circuit Franco Belge stage 1
Here in northern France doing one of the races that is probably the style of racing most definitely not well suited to myself, haha, rain, cold and crazy cross winds winding along the road furniture splattered concrete roads that is racing the flat northern classic. Not to mention I get to do it for 4 days in a row, but the way I look at it this race is great training for positioning yourself in the peleton and should put some good tempo in the legs for Paris-Tours, Piedmont and Lombardy. So anyhow, today went well for the team with Tyler getting 2nd on the stage to Boonen and now sits 2nd on GC as well, myself I try to help where I can and try to position myself well so that when shit hits the fan on the cross winds I am atleast not in the last echelon. Tomorrow much of the same but add a splash of rain to the 10 degrees and wind.

Hey Young Man admit it…you love this stuff!! And congrats on your new contract.See you there in 09!
