Tour of Beauce stage 1

Tour of Beauce

Today was the first stage of TOB and its really hard here. There are no flat roads what so ever, so today was a 160k-day, don’t sound long but when you’re out there racing on the hills, it’s a long day.

My legs felt really bad all day. After doing Philly, then all the traveling to get here, I just had bad legs and I hope I got all the bad stuff out for tomorrow’s stage.

From the start TIAA-Cref was pretty aggressive covering moves and trying to make moves. Plan A was to get me to the finish because the final 2k was all for me. However after a few attacks a group of four got away and after we tried to bring them back, they put more time on us. The last 10k were so brutal. I mean we had these huge rollers that never ended and never evened out. You think you’re at the top and its false flat up hill.

So at the end, there were groups all over the course and I was some where in the first main group breathing very hard.

Tomorrow is longer and tougher so we will see what happens. I just hope to make it to the last 2 days so I can win the last two stages.

See ya later.

    Just hang in there, brotha. Your legs are still recovering from the way you surprised yourself and everyone else in Philly. They'll be back soon enough. Stay strong!
