Working it to the wet, dodgy end
Today we definitely paid for all the good weather we’ve had so far. It was very wet. Near on five hours in the pissing rain! But at least the sun was shining on a certain Mr. Peterson today who finally got in the right break. Although the peloton never gave the group too much leash, [...]
Riding the Portuguese roller coaster
Up and down. Left and right. All done at warp speed. That about sums up today. 2500 meters altitude gained and never going above 600 meter. About one inch of flat road and an average speed of over 42kph. The break didn’t go until 75 km and even then it was only allowed 1’30″. I [...]

My endless supply of ammunition
I had fun today. It was one of those days where I had an endless supply of ammunition at my disposal. Though my legs would hurt, I could still keep going. The day started very fast. Big breakaways would get a gap, then a team would chase them down, uphill and down twisty descents. It [...]
Portugal Premiere
First impressions of Portugal: I like this place! I don’t want to jinx it, but so far, awesome hotels, good weather and nice roads. Yesterday’s plan for the stage was to set Tyler up for the sprint. We were unlucky not to have someone in the break as we basically covered every move except the [...]
Catalunya stage 7: A wet, hard-fought final
Race report from DS Johnny Weltz Today anything was possible. With a heavy rain, a technically hard circuit, a short 106 stage and a close overall classification, it was still unsure who would take the overall win. So, like every other start, it was very fast. We had some good chances to go for a [...]
Catalunya stage 6: Status quo
Race report from DS Johnny Weltz Again a blazing fast start. We had Christophe Laurent in all the moves that went the first 40 km. But the day’s breakaway didn’t go until right after Tom Peterson was taken down in a crash with three other riders. (Tom is fine and finished the stage.) There were [...]
