With the Help of my Soigneur and Mechanic

Tomorrow we have our next race, Trognee. It's a 1.12 U27 race consisting of mostly rolling hills. Tyler Farrar won the race last year, so we have big shoes to fill for this one. We have John Devine and Mike Wolf just back from a stage race in Spain, both of which are going very well. We have high hopes for this weekend, with our strongest team we have fielded yet. With the help of our trusty soigneurs, Chris "The Fox" De Vos and Els, and our kick ass mechanic George, we will be looking for a really good finish.

Today we went our for our traditional prerace ride on the "Veldroute". It's a 50k loop that we usually go out and ride chill, knocking it out in 1.30-1.45 hrs. Today it was very windy, so we were pushing 1.45. After a couple efforts, we were ready for the race tomorrow. Our team is strong consisting of John Devine, Mike Wolf, Matt Crane, Zack Taylor, Ryan Keels and me.

This is the first race of 3 this week. On Wednesday we have GP Waregem, which is an 1.2 U23. It's a very prestigious race with all the best Espoirs in the world. Farrar was 2nd here last year, so it's another race we are really shooting for.

Next Sunday we have Sint Truid Aalst 1.12, to cap off a solid few days of racing. This week will be a true test for our team. We will be trying show the form that has been somewhat lacking over the past couple weeks.
