After just getting back from Belg I was so tired, I was really just wanting to have a easy weekend of sleeping and taking it easy. But I'd already committed to this Tour.
As you've probably figured by now there isn't going to much to say in here.
So a quick run down....Stage 1 Tried to make splits but just wasnt happening for me, a few groups got away so then the Peloton shut down.
St. 2
TT with 2km hill at start, went ok got 30th 1min down lost most my time over the 10km on the hill though.
St.3
100km Rr
Hard 20km lap x5
A break went then got caught, I was gripping to the bunch.
Tour of Aurillac, 18th/19th
A week of trying to rest and get some decent legs. Then it was off for 4 hours of driving to Aurillac, we basically got straight out of the car on the bikes and the legs weren't in a good mood.
So the first day I was seriously hurting and on the GPM's I kept dropping off a bit, but luckily I have become good at descending rapidly. ended up losing around 3mins to stage winner.
sTAge 2
TTT 19km
What can I say, we dropped our Jnr rider straight away, and the had me and the other Kieran and another. for the rest. We over shot the first turn losing a fair wack of time. And get this some how we got 3rd only 26sec down......Gutting
Stage 3
Everyone had been saying how hard and mountainous this stage was gonna be so I was a little scared. Right from the get go it was all on. I had a few diggs to get in the EB but everyone was glued to my wheel.
Survived the first part off the race then got off the front to get over the GPMs and possible splits would be occuring behind.....ended up blowing on the final gpm and being past 1km from the top and not being able to hook any wheels. Me and the yellow jersey lapped out hard to get back on. But they were gone.
Then with 4km I look back, ohh and my team mate is chasing me down again. cheers mate
Thats about it for now
