Snow,rain,hail and wind!
Ok so i've seen waaay to much snow,rain and wind the past 5 days. It's not good!
Saturday we had Trongee a 169km race, lost of wind and climbs. We had two riders in the break for 30km which was brought back in the last 7 km. Four riders managed to skip away and my old team mate pumped the guys in the sprint to take the win so that was good. The finishing loop was full with cross winds and I used a lot of energy to stay near the front and didnt have much left for the finish so just rolled in the bunch 20secs down on the break.
Sunday we had a pro race, Het hagland. It was snowing like crazy and was super cold. After 80km the snow really came down hard and jesus it hurt, plus I was freezing my arse off and by that time it was -1degs so I got off. And got in the bus with half the peleton. I think 70% of the peleton got off. It's just one of those days you dont want to think about haha.
Today we had another race with 170 riders. Puring with rain for the last two hours. I had good legs and went with a lot of moves, which I nearly got across to the 7 man break on the second to last lap. But couldn't quite close that other 40m by myself. By then I was shaking and couldn't feel my hands or face. Belgium weather for you aye! So I finished 20th place which was alright. Hopefully the weather gets better cause its really not to fun!
