To celebrate St. Patty’s day I wanted to have a good showing today at Nokere. I thought maybe I was gonna have a shot at the win! With 350 meters to go on the cobblestone finish climb, I connected with Alexander Kristoff and he drove it hard up the base of the climb. [...]

So my spring campaign in Belgium has begun and I can officially say it hasn’t been the smoothest start. I came down with a cold right before 3 days west flanders. Got through the first two cold days ok, but when I woke on sunday I could barely breath. I didn’t start and spend the [...]

We finished up Qatar yesterday keeping Marcus in 5th overall. I managed 10th on the day with a late run to the line. I was fast but I was just too far back. I gotta work on that.
Now we’re in Oman and we are staying at a sweet resort hotel on the beach. it [...]
