After two stakes races in English in the previous season, is distributed to the 2008/2009 season the side of Bilbao Muskiz. Cyclocross Basque, although enriched, had a great race filled with tight switchbacks, lots of ups and turns making the highly technical differences in the various categories.
The start was a little rough after a night at the coach, at 5am to make the trip to 320km. Arrived at 8:30, we took our brand among the English and the circuit of 2700 meters long.
For starters, it was the turn of the masters 30, 40 and 50 together to battle on 40 min race. Allen, Lawrence and Joel participated in these categories (where?). Alain, well placed to share in the starting 10 for a big back and rejoin the group battling for second place. It imposes its own pace and one arrives at the English track and attack in the limit. Lawrence also starts well placed, on the heels of Alain but can not seem to all go up. He then locks in a positron group between the 10th and 15th. A puncture after the bell will make him lose his head this group. Joel made a start in the packet, and continues its course, progressing in his technique.
Alain wins in the category of the 50 years after his 3rd place overall, Lawrence takes the 18th place of 30 years and Joel 12th in 40 years (then you found?).
By late morning, it's time for cadets with the two piglets Hugo and Thomas. Thomas for his second in cyclocross, begins to enter the profession. At the first corner to leave it last fall. He began his opponent to finish 12th after a few falls. Hugo when with him, took the lead in the race from the start to create a group of 3 riders. On the last lap, despite a straight, he attacks and finally arrived in sprint and get all 3 in the same second. The first victory of the season for Hugo and abroad, its been fun.
My departure has stood 12.45 with thirty competitors with some old English professionals and experts in cyclocross. I go at full speed in the first lace in the top positions to take second place. Cannot negotiate a first and a small drop in premium. I go back on the bike and while I can cling to a first group that will soon let go. I'm hunting for this group of 5. I finally was back then a new attack is done and I jump. I will return later to recraquer. Upon arrival, I come on the heels 5th while the second came back hoping for 3 laps.
Finally a 6th place overall in the elite and 1st position in hope. Its been very pleased after the little miss St Felix.
TCC's record is excellent with 3 wins on the day of French children from kick ass.
