A Little Rest, Then Racing
The Tour de l’Ain wrapped up last Saturday and I quickly, and happily, headed back to Spain. I left l’Ain totally spent having raced over 2,000-kilometers in two weeks with tons of travel and a nagging head cold. Not the ideal way to come out of such a big block or racing, but I am hoping a few days rest will breath some life into my body.
HTC-Columbia had mixed results during the week. Coming close to winning two stages with Marco and Alex being caught just a few hundred meters from the line and placing Tejay high in the overall made for a solid week, but also for one of the few stage races in which we didn’t actually win a stage. I felt worse by the day, and barely hung on to finish out the race. 
Racing a week in Poland and then heading straight into another race filled with fresh riders made for a rough experience. I am hoping my body bounces back in the next days and benefits from the race days.
Tomorrow will bring yet another travel day as I am off to Italy for the rest of the week. Some very challenging races are in store. Plenty of mountains are to be climbed and with these races being some of the final ones for the Italians to earn a spot for the upcoming World Championships in Australia they are sure to be fast.
