It’s now March and hard to realise I have been away for a whole month! I really have made this my home now. That’s a quite confusing thought for me seeing as I have to leave again. No, I have not been kicked out of the country, and no, I’m not injured again. I have been given a ride on the cyclingnews.com team. Its UCI continental and will be based at the managers house somewhere near Brussels, Belgium. I move on Wednesday, and I am not looking forward to the drive. The races will also be a big step up, with Pro kermesses, semi-classics, and one or two big tours. This means major riders will be next to me on the start line and I’m going to get a kicking. But, I hope I can hold my own, managed it last year in the RAS and I’m so much better now than I was then. I’ve got my last French race Saturday. I want to leave France well......

So,

Au Revior France, Hallo Vlaanderen....
