Just before today race I was informed about Vuelta al Tachira results. No surprise at all...
La Tropicale Amissa Bongo - stage 6 (last one) - 18th January
It seems that nothing can stop us now from overall double - nice race after such a bad start
Today we set really high tempo from start so no breaks today - Tom and Sebastian are ready for a sprint
What´s going on? Why Tom stopped? What happened?
Meanwhile Sebastian is going for 4th place and overall win - but it isn´t our concern just now.
Nico Sijmens won the stage by centimetres
Poor Tom just before he completely passed out from overheating
I decided to leave immediately to hospital with Tom. His health is more important than this race. Luckily for us it wasn´t nothing serious and he will be able to race in few days again. Ufff - I almost got heart attack....

19th January
While doctors were debating whether should be Tom Leezer send to TdU I had to made 3 meetings today. First one was with Robert Linskens - last year biggest Dutch star in U-23 championship. He shocked many scouts with his unusual climbing ability for cobblestone rider. He was very shy during our morning meeting, so his lack of emotion, after he was told just to follow Flecha, Nuyens and learn from them, didnt surprise me. In 13:00 I will meet someone famous...
Robert Linskens
Last year achievements: 8th Ronde van Vlaanderen
This year expectations: None |

20th of January
I got e-mail from Erik today. In February I will participate only on Tour du Haut Var and Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Also I should choose only one of all three GT´s - I will propably take TdF but Vuelta looks interesting too.
After busy January it will be good to have some break
my boss in field...
