Well, it’s time for Route du Sud. This is a very important race for me. I need to show myself here and I am very motivated to do so. I’m especially looking forward to the mountain time trial on Friday.
Some riders from my team have been here by my house for a small training camp. I have really enjoyed riding with them and showing them my favorite climbs. I always blab so much about the riding here, so it’s nice to actually have a chance to back it up. I even took them to my favorite restaurant that my friend Sean owns. It’s ironic because Sean is American and also from Colorado living here in a tiny town near Puigcerda. He made some amazing food for all of us to enjoy.
Well, time for the game face. My Powertap was smoking as I led the guys up La Molina 4 times today, so let’s now do it in the race! -Tom
