After my high speed crash a few weeks ago at the Tour de Georgia, I am happy to say that I am at home, healthy and well. A broken collarbone, scapula, and a moderate head injury (basically a big bruise on my brain) isn’t fun but it could have been worse. I am very […]

I want to say thanks to all the fans sending me support. It is a big help.
I have arrived home and have a doc appt. for Tuesday. Still taking some pain meds and taking it easy. Later.

Race report from DS Johnny Weltz
The forecast was for rain all day, but turned out to be sunny and very, very hot. This morning we had to send Tyler home as he has an infection next to his jaw so the whole side of the face is swollen. In the feed zone, we lost Martijn […]

Yesterday was only the 6th day of the race and yet it feels forever long already. Long races, long transfers and some stressful finishes.
Let me give you an idea as to the state of Julian and yours truly. Yesterday, we packed our bags as always and got ready for the race. We made a […]

I’m 31 and been a pro since I was 19. In those years I’ve done a few Tours of France and Spain, but I’ve never managed to make it to the Giro d’Italia, and funnily enough I’d never really considered it. So when Jonathan struck up a relationship with Big Kahuna Giro boss Angelo […]
