The first three days of the Intelligentsia Cup were a steep learning curve for me. After failing rollout day 1, two DNF’s, struggling to find rides to the races, and a hearty heatwave to top it all off I was happy to even be lining...
Yesterday the team took on the UCI Vr./belofte-Vr elite Crit in Eygelshoven. It was close to where we are based (sittard, Netherlands) which meant we could ride the race which has been a first (usually we travel at least 2 hours to each race). This was...
