romandie update

April 30th, 2009 Posted in News

Finally we got a real bike race in today. After the 3km prologue and then a snow shortened stage, it seems like we’ve been doing a lot of sitting around eating and sleeping. I didn’t have the greatest prologue…3km all out efforts from a cold start aren’t exactly what I’m known for. Ill have to put my new indoor track in boulder to use this winter to work on that. Tyler had a good ride though in 4th place. The next day was shortened due to a ton of new snow on the pass we were supposed to traverse, but we still took in a nasty steep cobblestone climb on the finish circuit. We just missed out catching the break of the day by a few seconds so lost out on a big chance to get a sprint win for Tyler. Today we had a bunch of climbs on the menu. I jumped into a dangerous break at the start but it turned out to be to threatening to a couple teams that missed it and we came back. Dan ended up 5th in the small group that was left at the finale. Tomorrow is some more sitting around and then a team time trial. 20 minutes of putting the hurt ontoir teammates. Should be good. Thanks for checking in
