Défi Sportif Montreal

No pic for the moment, so an old one will do.

DÉfi Sportif MTL, another win for me. Winning the time trail in my category was nice being the first races here in Canada. The road race was exiting, the riders have trained hard last winter. The race was a 48kl race under a nice worm climate. It took 25 kl to be able to make a split, I had to attack after attack, finally the bake, then it was an Ontarian and I till the line. The officials made a mix up with the bell so we had to sprint two times. I wasn't very happy with that. The out come was the same, I was the Best. Next race Swiss on the 15th of May.

Roseneau France 2010

Great race Roseneau France. It was cold, cloudy with a couple of rain drops. The race was very fast, Vitorio, Malouf and I were running the race. We were not able to brake up the 20 riders that had fallowed the brake away. This is on a flat course with some turn around, very dangerous race, bikes hitting one another every so often. I was on the straight away riding 45 kl hr and thought I could make it to the line, but 100meters from the finish I was caught and finished 11th running out of power at sprint. I am very happy with my race braking the circuit time by over one minute. I raced 44kl in 1:08.40. next race Swiss. I will have to use less muscle and more brains next race.

Race George SA

Just returned from the race in George South Africa. It was a hot day, 34 degres. The road was rough with some cornering, lost some time because they had us pass in a parking where the major sponsor had his venue. 10.5 false climb, 10.5 desent, 2 loops. I attact from the begining riding the 42kl coarse as a time trial in 1:12.57. I finished 1st place with a Gold Medle, 2nd was Stuart from SA, 3rd Keni from Irland. It was well organized, lots of midea and toped off with a big party afterwards. Shape whise I'm where I want to be, ready for my next race in Roseneau France on the 3rd of April.

Paracycling Worlds Bogono Italy

Finishing another year of training and racing on a good note, Bronze Medal at the Worlds In Bogono Italy. I had a great year, will be taking a couple of weeks to relax before starting another year of awesome racing. The weather was nice all week, the course pretty hilly. I had 3 races, TT 20 kl was hard, felt my arms were not up to par finishing 9th. Road race 60 kl it was fast and exiting but noticed that in the hills the lighter climbers had an advantage after the 5th climb, so finished 10th. Then was the TTT where I finished Bronze Medal, I did the 2nd fastest time after Manfred Putz from Austria in my category. The plan for next year is to lose another 14 pounds to be able to climb like a mountain goat. Thanks to all my sponsors to permit me to achieve my performances, if it was not for you I could not go on. THANK-YOU!

Québec Championships

Gold all the way!!!!!!!!!! The time trail was in Mandeville Quebec, the circuit was around the Lake Maskinonger; Very hilly. I won by 3 min to my closest rival Mark Beggs who was mad and did not stay for the Medal ceremonies. Then the road race in Saint Lazare, went very well. I started off with the group to encourage them and then took off for the last 13 kl as a time trail.

Piacenza International Paracycling Cup Italy

Back from two exiting races in Piacenza International Paracycling Cup Italy. The Crit was hot and hard, ruining 20 laps making a 48 kl race. I and Vitorio took off early in the race, finishing at the sprint. I lost by one sec. I started the sprint to early and choked at the end. Then the time trial, it was a 20 kl loop with about 10 corners and some up hills. It was fast haft the way, on the return a false up flat with a good wind. I train in the wind often in Saint Martine, so it helped me stay concentrated. I finish 27 sec before the second rider, Vitorio Podesta, Silver Medalist in China Last year so GOLD FOR Me,,,,,,,,yessssssssssssss. Now a little rest before the Worlds in Bogono Italy in September.

Louny Race Czech

The top in the world were here in Louny Czech. It was a 15kl UCI Time Tial. Up and down circuit with a head wind on the way back. Well rested and felt good during the race. I was very Happy when they announced my Silver Medal. Next Race in Italy on the 24, 25 July.

Canadian Championships

Back from the Nationals in Beauce Québec as Canadian Champ in Road and Time Trial.
I whipped everybody butts. It was a cool weekend with a bit of rain. I felt strong, I won with over 1 min in time trail and close to 5 min in road race. Being a hilly circuit I thought I might work a bit harder, but I guess the weight I lost had a good effect on my performance. Next race Louny Cezch 11, 12, /07.

Race Oenssingen Suisse

Just back from an exiting race in Oensingen Suisse. There was over 150 riders, 55 in my category. The weather was nice but there was a strong wind making thing a bit harder. It was a 70kl race, four other cyclist and I attacked 20kl before the finished. We attacked in a head on wind. There was just three of us working, the two German guys were drafting in back. The Suisse rider took off on his own 5 kl before the end leaving me and the Italian to do all the work. It finished at the sprint with the German riders all rested up, I landed the fourth position and Vitorio the Italian guy 5th. The second group of riders arrived over 2minutes after us. I would like to thank my Sponsors for permiting me to participate in this event, espeacialy GoodLeaf's Auto Parts.
