Bunch sprints, chasing breaks down, and a bit of time trial practice. Both races finished in bunch sprint and in both races we (meaning the team) had to spend time on the front chasing a break down. Not the most exciting thing to do during a race but it had to be done or we wouldn’t have been in for a chance to win. Our sprinter put in some good sprints so our efforts were not wasted.

During Antwerpse Havenpijl the attacks were always going off the front and as I was timing my attack just as another attack had come back I managed to get away from the peleton. This would normally be a good thing but none else came with me and I was by myself for about 45mins until a group of 15 other riders came across. The most time I got was a bit over a minute. Just goes to show the condition is starting to head back in the right direction, let’s hope some results will start to come. 

Managed to get some good photos over a cobble section when I was up the road by myself, the cobble section was about a kilometer long and the carbon wheels got a bit of a hammering but I got over them with out flatting.
