Not much to report this week. I went 'oop north for another premier calendar, this one started and finished in Beverly in Yorkshire, I had confidence from Sweden but premiers still confuse me. They are so aggressive and you never know what the hell is happening. This time at least I decided to get stuck in and go with the attacks and even attack myself a few times. Its draining but necessary if you want to get a result in one of these races - it would be far better to just put a 5k climb in. The ...

Stage 4 was a 47k crit around the centre of Tidaholm, crits aren't normally my thing but sneaking into winning breakaways (see stage 3) aren't normally my thing either - so I had a good feeling about the stage. I know that all I really needed to do was hang in there and save energy for the TT but I couldn't hold back, I felt too good. With 5 of the last 25 laps to go I attacked and got a big gap, unfortunately the guy I got away with was rubbish and so we didn't have enough firepower to stay away, ...

Frezza - Pasta Montegrappa 2010

Off to Sweden for the U6 tour shortly, the results should be available here: http://www2.idrottonline.se/template...aspx?id=474846.

Greetings all, if you haven't read the comments on my previous blog you will not have realised that I've already posted the average power values for the 2 TTs I rode last week and announced the winner. For all you losers out there Lucy won some Olmo Fondo lycra booties, I have been told they are being saved for a special occasion...

The TTs were run off in the middle of a large training block of which I am very proud. Last year in the 'week before the week before' the national road ...
