World Marathon Champs, Villabassa ,5th June

What a wonderful race the Italians put on for us all. Spectacular scenery and such an impressive organisation.
My race...well...my lungs are still very poor but I thought I would ride around and see if I can finish. I thought I was going so badly that i would not make it to the end; I thought there would be a time limit at certain points of the course.
Thanks to BC for the clothing and entry and many thanks to go to the Spanish National Team, Cristi, and Dave and Sally Bigham for supporting me in a very professional manner for whole the event.

More thanks go to David Jonathan Property Consultants Ltd, Kona, Ergon, Shimano and Kenda.

Jenn O' Conner had a good result (20th) Sally Bigham said she had learnt alot from the race but did very well considering her solo Mount. Mayhem win just the other week. Liz Scalia produced a good result as normal in her usual calm way.

A shame for Liam Kileen; a crash left him in bad state but he continued and finished the race. Ditto for William Bjergfelt; he will one day learn that 300 odd gram tyres are not for his bike. Two punctures and then a boken chain took him out but then the next day he went out to do the Citizen race (120 KM) and got a amazing result of 12th place...with 600 gram tyres.

Israel Nunez, Alejandro and Sandra all had good races but Israel came in 15th.....estupendo!

Ciao
