Well day 2 is complete............We had a long team meeting so this is going to be a short blog as it is getting late and I would like to get some decent sleep tonight. All in all it was a good day, we held on to our lead and didn't lose anytime in the Team G.C. My role today was to cover the attacks and make sure no one got away on the second place team. I put in some hard efforts and team "Bicyclo" was not happy that I kept on hanging on. They had 3 or 4 guys that would just attack after attack, and then I wouldn't pull as we wanted the peloton to come back, so they would yell at me in Korean and I would just laugh and smile back. I also called another rider a not so nice of name in english after he tried putting me in the gutter and well he understood english so I got a nasty look. Lesson learned, don't swear at the Koreans as they typically understand at a minimum the english cuss words. I ended up staying with the first group and gave one go at a break away with 2K to go and it lasted all of about 30 seconds, I put about 100M into them and then they reeled me back in. The final stretch got really sketchy so I just hung in the back of the group and let the sprinters go at it. No need to get tangled up and go down when you just take the same finishing time as the group...........Results still aren't up, so I will post some pics and possibly update the results in the morning depending on what time I get up.
The view from the hotel in the morning.........
White Lightning looking good as always ;)
Where is Elmer??? He is hiding behind the jacket changing into his cycling clothes........
Coming back to get waters and use the bathroom......John "The Water Buffalo" brought 6 back up and I was only able to get one or two.
Post race talks........
Didn't realize we were right outside of the "doping control" RV, but I needed a quick recovery ;)
