It happened during the 3rd stage of the Tour de l'Eurométropole, I was caught in a mass crash, with the adrenaline I managed to end the stage but after the stage I was complaining about my right arm, I went to see the doc and the news came, ... it's broken.
That means that my season end here and on the 25th of October I will be part of the Leopard squad.
When I fall I was leading the Mountain Ranking and it would have be the second time in a row that I won this jersey. I will rest now to be at my best next season.
See you 
Oh and by the way, Pierre ended second in Il Lombardia. |

During this winter I will try to be part of some local Cyclo-Cross race and I took a subscription to the Stab' Velodrome in Roubaix to improve my sprint and TT skills.
I will give you more information by January see you |
