Diary

Sunday 15th April 2007   Ronde Van Drenthe, (8 and world Cup) Holland.  (DIARY UPDATED BELOW)

Editors note- On April the 12th Leda continued her strong come back from her Flanders crash by protecting her team leader Monia in the later stages and then dropping off to finish 33rd overall.

Below are the results and a couple of pics. These were taken by CJ Farquarson of womenscycling.net. (the number one site for womens cycle racing in the world.)

Check out Leda's bashed leg and the fact that she's wearing one arm warmer to cover the bare bone where she's skinned her arm in her Flanders crash. (well, nearly anyway!)

Below all of that is the result from the Drenthe world Cup, where once again, Leda helped Monia to her high placing

Leda's diary:

12th 15th and 16th

12th todays race was a circuit race with a few sections of pave.   It was clear I could not race let alone train without the aid of painkillers for my arm which was still really soar after my crash.  I could not hold the handle bars very well without screaming!! anyway I wanted  to race as the races is good for me bein twisty windy and cobbly!! we had 6 laps to do.. the first 3 laps where easy in comparison to the last 3!! the hammer went down after a 2 person break was caught and then the field was split to bits with the first group of about 40 girls staying away for the next 3 laps.   I was up front with Monia and alessandra keeping an eye on the moves for Monia.    I got Monai back into the firs group after a split after the cobbled section.  we had a few k to got before the sprint and the frild was strung out for the finish with Monia finishing in the top 10 and I finished 33rd..  My legs where not up for the finish today but I was happy to be able to work for Monia today.  Good job done!

15th Ronde van Drenthe world cup race.

I was looking forward to the race today as i know the circuit and it suits me well.   We wanted to keep Monia and me up front which we did  well and kept in the first group after the cobbled sections.   with 25k a crash happened and yes I was behind the girl who crahed again!!!! anyway down I came and ouuuccchhhh I screamed!!!! got back onto bike but could not get into the first group!!! I was very disappointed today as I really like this circuit and I was feeling good! the poor girl who crashed broke her hand so I was lucky!!  Monia was safe and managed to get another top 10 today!! a great ride!

16th  Ronde van Drenthe

I woke up feeling strange this morning but put it down to the crashes I had and got on with my routing before the race!  took some more painkillers to kill the arm pain and off we went for our last race! I know instantly that i did not feel right as I was feeling sick and really dehydrated!! I had a puncture after 10k and pulled out of the race after chasing hard to get back but just had nothing to give so called it a day and was looking forward to resting my arm!!!

The team did really well in holland and Belgium!!!
