The cycling itself went brilliantly, 47th place in the GC was a good result for me, but my attacks on the hills left me in joint second place for the mountain jersey :D I'm really enjoying getting to know the squad, and the chance to help out in Argentina was amazing for me. The DS awarded me his own personal race award, for his rider of the race, the team took me out for a night in Argentina which was great fun, and I'd like to thank him personally, i didn't actually take home any of the jerseys, but he felt my efforts during the race warranted the reward, which really meant a lot to me, what with it being my first ever race.
I think it was important for my own belief, that i got into the season quickly, rather than letting my nerves get the better of me, for that reason, I'm really glad to have been able to get away and attack on a few occasions this year already. Sadly in the GP de Marseillaise, i found myself trapped in the group behind most of the team, and as such was unable to be of much use, i talked to the DS after the race, and he just worked on keeping me thinking positively, rather than allowing myself to get down about things.
The next updating rider is apparently going to be San Luis winner, Jey-Cy Cavendickx, so any questions you may have for him, just leave in the comments box at the base of this post, whether it's about his victory, other objectives for the season, or just what the team is like, we'd love to see your questions arriving. :)
