Hi ,
no problem . I finished the Grimpee in 25th place , but wasn't really satisfied with my performance . Due to the bad weather (cold and wet) i decided to use my spare-bike (my "sunshine-bike" hates such conditions

) which is ~3kg heavier , and my legs don't work as well when it's cold (and without a long warm-up) , too .
I arrived in Bedoin on Friday: after riding the col d'agnello in italy i decided to drive directly to france (instead riding the fauniera on saturday , but the weather-forecast wasn't as good as it should be ) . Shortly i was thinking about also doing the LaVentoux on saturday , but then i was too lazy and just registrated for the grimpee . On saturday i rode the bedoin-ventoux-route as inspection , up from chalet reynard it was really stormy ...
"Chapeau" for your classification on saturday , very nice performance !!
