Journalist World Champs (5th and 7th)

Friday: Time Trial World Champs...

Dropped Chain with 2k to go(had to stop, get off bike etc), having past my 2min man at half distance. Broken seat that happend just after the start, I thought I'd crasked the frame or done something to the disc wheel... UGH. 7th! V dissapointed needless to say!

















Saturday Road Race.


Horrificaly cold, wet, misty day, couldn't feel my hands... small group of 8 or so came to the line. Sadly it was doomed to finish in a sprint, so I was 5th... even more dissapointed this time as I think the win is well within my abilities...



I attacked a few times, partly to try and get away, but also to try and get warm. It was a very negative road race. But hey, C'est la vie.

Cameroon TV fame?!??!?!!


Don't ask me how I found this, but it's quite funny. I guess this person singing is something of a celebrity in Cameroon. Anyway, you see a bit of Castelsarrasin jersey right at the start, then if you have the patients to listen the rather repetitive music for a while, you eventually see a bit of coverage from last year's Tour of Cameroon... the quality is pretty poor, but a very keen eye can spot some Castelsarrasin riders and an even keener eye might even be able to spot me for a billionth of a second...
