....feeling tired but doing my team work and looking forward to a REST!!!.....

Stage 1 - TT 4k

I did this race 2 years and I remembered enjoying this race and feeling quite good in it!  But not his time around unfortunately!  Things have gone from bad to worse for me as felt awful in the TT! I think I could have run faster up the last climb!!   Marrione Vos won the TT today..........

Stage 2- 87 k

Seeing things from the back of the bunch is quite a new experience for me and I much prefer to be a front rider but me and my coach decided that it was best for me to use this race as training as I was tired.  The race started of pretty flat for 60k and then we took in  steady but long  climb of about 10k or so which gradually climbed up to the finish.  Different groups formed by this point with Monia and D'ettore in the first group for the sprint.  Marrione Vos took the sprint, D'ettore 4th and Monia 6th! A great ride for the team today!

Stage 3 - 100k

Today's race looked tough with 3 climbs of about 4k each but the last climb looked tough!  With Marriane Vos taking all the leaders Jerseys it was up to her team to control the race today!   The pace was fast from the start and alot of riders got dropped on the flat section after the first climb..  The second climb split the bunch up and the 3rd climb saw the Leader Marriane Vos split the field even more !!! Vos the winner again!! she is clearly in form !!  Monia was in the second group and the rest fo the girls just behind.    Vos won the leaders Jersey overall, a fantastic race for her!

Now I will try and rest for the tour of Berne next week.    I should of rested after I fractured my  arm in Flanders but my head was to strong for my body and now I am paying the price!! After Berne I return home for weeks rest! Yippee!!
