Ravensthorpe in the Vuelta?

This Saturday, I did the Tour of Spain Cyclosportive in the Netherlands, 105 km in typical Dutch weather, i.e. massive rainfall combined with sunny spells! 10,000 cyclists enjoyed the ride - and the prologue at the TT circuit in Assen was superb, we did the circuit as well, befor starting the sportive - my time was 2 minutes slower then Cancellara (but hey, he didn’t have to take care of another thousand cyclists). At one stage during the sportive I ended up cycling with the Caisse d’Epargne boys, who were out for a warming up ride - spoke to some Spanish guy for a bit, but Valverde was just hanging in at the back - felt like RCC in the Tour of Spain! Bumped into AG2R as well, boy are those new jerseys ugly! Next year it’s TdF in Rotterdam and Giro in Amsterdam, maybe an idea to go with the club and have some more RCC’s on the Dutch roads…

    Only two minutes down on Cancellara Jack, did that include a coffee stop? Sounds a good idea to get a few thorpers over to Holland next year.

    I agree, they didn’t have scones………they also didn’t have FEB or beans on toast. They have other stimulants though in the Netherlands…..

    I don’t know about getting thorpers on the continent, we have trouble getting them out on English events!
