Stage 1 Wellington
104km, 2.24hrs, 28th Place

Unfortunately I missed the breakaway. It is about time to ride more in the front when it is flat, especially when cross wind in predicted!

I felt very good on the last pass. We were a very small chasing group going over the top, but on the descent we got caught again by small bunches.

Tomorrow we do a 3 lap circuit race, with a tough climb before the finish. read more >>

On the road agin!

I have just left home to South Africa. On Tuesday I start racing the Giro del Capo a road stage race until Sunday. It feels good that all the training is done for now. I think that I am in good shape, but there is always a difference between training shape and racing shape. So the Giro will be great build up for the following Cape-Epic.

Zürich airport is one of the coolest.... "Chocolate is in the air!" read more >>

Today it was the first time that it was a bit warmer. About 5 degrees, and it felt great.
On the other hand the snow melt next to the roads, so there are always big super wet spots over the pave. Not nice! Especially the roads are so dirty at the moment. No cleaning rain, plus all the salt makes the splashing water ugly creamy thick. I think only riders who know winter, know what I am talking about. ... read more >>

I am back home from San Francisco since a couple days. It was exciting to visit Specialized, but even more to test all the new products. They would cut my head off, if I would talk about it in my blog already. Sorry!

Yesterday I was already on my backcountry skis again. It was such a pretty day, awesome snow but super cold! On my ride back home from the ski trip, it felt like my eye liquid started to freeze and I could only see left and right with turning my head ... read more >>

Why do American hotel rooms all looks the same, smell the same, furnished the same plus the fridge is so cold that my apple is frozen now.
But on the other hand everything is very practical. Big parking, big sliding doors, big elevator, big tv, big bathroom just BIIIIG everything!

As you can see I am on the road agin.
I am visiting the Specialized Head Quarter near San Francisco for a few days. Also my mechanics Benno and Sandy are with me. It ... read more >>

The town is pumping at the moment, since the students are back from summer holidays, and for the next 3 days it is carnival time. ... read more >>
