Are you carrying the pee needed for the dope control? I thought that needed to be sealed? :roll:

Hy fellow riders :)

Club race from last saturday, 5 round à 7 km, first one we rolled in, strong headwind in one direction, still managed a 40km/h average, was flat tough.. :mrgreen:
So the first pic is just at the finish line, the guy on the front is speeding up to announce the race after the first round. Shortly after that I attacked (hehhe)
And went for a couple of km alone when I got caught by the group you see on the second pic, which was the group of the day (I am at the end - suffering :lol: )
Third pic showes the podium, the guy in the middle (swiss mtb elite rider) won, he attacked with 2km to go, but we just couldnt follow - also because of the headwind - yeah it was definately the wind.. :wink: )
I won the sprint for second (i am on the left) - hey let me tell you the lightweights are the best for sprinting :twisted:

In a real flat out sprint with nearly 2000w lightweights would burn and explode.

Pro-kermesse race at Buggenhout-Opstal (Belgium). Won by Dries Hollanders, before Tosh Van De Sande and Niko Eeckhout, but by then I already left the shower... ;-)

@Tinea pedis, you mean if I reached the finish in a breakway? Unfortunately not. I had technical in Zakopane (frayed rear der. cable) and with 15km to go I had to stop for 2 minutes due to cramps. Even though I don't think I would survive with the pros to the end. In Zakopane when Zielinski from ccc jumped I was too tired to stay on his wheel and the last 65km we rode in 3.
18' R5 coming soon...

Finally got first road win of the year yesterday.

Ended up riding final 40km solo, but had a bit of company before that. Here was the last of my companions

I'm short sighted, so makes judging how far back they really were a little tough :lol:
