So short… but so painful!
Did what I could on the prologue but it wasn´t enough today. Haven´t seen any results yet but I know that I was far behind the winner.
That was my first chance, still 9 to come!
Tomorrows stage will be one of the hardest from the tour when we´re doing an 8km climb (VERY steep the last 2km) just 25km from the finish… So wish me luck!

Full results will come here.

Racing today in De Pinte was good for the team and ok for me… We had two riders in the first group and they finished 2nd and 3rd. For me the race turned into a day in the bunch. Which ment that I had time to enjoy my supporter´s club every lap :-) The club is just in the beginning and still growing, more will come in a close future…

After lack of ability to attack and jump in the bigger races I now have tasks and powerexercise in the smaller races. Yesterday was a hard days training. Many attacks and with a  hard trainingintervall I created the break of the day. With me and Ludivine in the break we had full control. I attacked twice on the last lap and came alone to the finish. It´s always safer and nicer to do it that way ;) In the group behind Ludivine won the sprint, so 1th and 2nd from AA Cycling Team.

Swedish Olympic favourite Susanne Ljungskog is back! In yesterdays World Cup she attacked the small group of 18 riders (me included) that were left after one of the hardest World Cups of the year. 15 km solo and she could pass the finishline 8 seconds ahead of us. I (as usual) finished top 10! Results and more about the race you can find here.

12th place and I´m satisfied.
After an ok day (my legs have seen better) I could enter the “muur van Huy” in the first group.
1,3km climb up to the finish line… I gave everything but when it was 500m to go my legs was complaining alot!
Passed the finish totally exhausted and happy with reaching it :)

Results here.

Easy ride tomorrow…

Sorry for not updating my site but I just had to have some days off last week!
Actually the whole week was really lazy and I mostly did 1-2 hours rides, the rest of the time was spent on my sofa :)
Here are the results from the two races I have done since my last post, as you can see another two top 15th places.

Novilon Eurocup-Drenthe 1.1 (Ned.) - 15th
Ronde van Gelderland 1.2 (Ned.) - 14th

The last two days the summer has arrived to Belgium and I have had two really nice days together with Martin and friends. But tomorrow I´m leaving again… Fleche Wallone on Wednesday and I´m really excited about a new big race.

Yesterday it was the first race out of three here in Drenthe.
With a group of six riders away already from the start the race was quite boring until Team High Road decided to chase them back. With fresh legs I started to get the racing and winning spirit back, but with only 8km to the finish two girls infront of me crashed and I couldn´t help but to taste the asphalt… Fast back on my bike I thought the race was over but suddenly they stopped up in the front group and I was back.
With tired legs and the breaks(!) lying on I finished on a 8th place…

Today I have had a sore body but after a good massage and an easy ride it feels a lot better!
You can follow tomorrows World Cup on this site: Drenthe.
