This weekend 5 of the team were heading for a quick trip north to the wine region of Beaujolais.
From all the talk from previous years it is a really good tour, with everything organised really well.
This year was no different,
Stage 1
I got stuck in early on. Went to early and attacks came flying every where. I managed to scramble through groups on narrow hard roads until I made the front selection.
From there the next gpm saw a few guys go clear. and with all the strong teams accounted for the time gap shot out.
Attacks came as the group lost its biorhythm and then the finish circuit ones and twos going off the front I covered as much as i could. But was out numbered and eventually hit the wall and lost a bit of time to the other chase guys.

2
Put the skin suit on for the flat 60km stage.
Was fast to start off with, but then I felt the heat cooling off a bit so launch on the narrow roads. I managed to split a group off.
Went real hard the whole stage but did way to much and rolled 5th. Climbed the ladder on GC as well
Stage3
Cracked on the second to last gpm and they didnt bring the convoy through so i was screwed. rode around trying to find the way with one other guy. ended up going the wrong way a couple more times and doing 121km for 103.6km stage. Dont know what thats all about.
Pleased to get a hard Tour in the legs though.
Big June coming up including Belgie trip so stay tuned.
