Great tactic from Erin on the last stage of the Dauphine, grabbing him the stage win and the Overall victory, Brilliant 
And Good Luck to him for the Nationals  |

National Championships
Tough luck for me as I miss out on the win by 8 seconds...

Well, I'm on a break now, a break from racing, that is. I'll take some intensive training camps and will work mainly on my time trialing, as well as a bit of climbing.
Will report when the Tour is over! |

@ricotero_uy: Thanks a lot 
@JuanMotr: I'm glad Eric gets your bananas as well 
@sutty68: he seems to be cursed. He's almost always 2nd in time trials. However, he still has many years left to become NC TT
@FreitasPCM: Thanks!
@ste_18: Yeah, Stijn's no more, unfortunately. Thanks |

Very good Dauphinée and nice results for VDB and Roelands.
What happened in the road race with Roelands?

@FreitasPCM: Thanks back to your regular avatar, I see, much better Roelandts got outsprinted by Boonen and Van Avermaet.
@valverde321: I'm going to filmschool in 2 days, what can I say: I need the drama Thanks
@Muggert: Thanks, it'll be better I think

After not having read your story for three days I return to see Stijn dead and Eric already at the NC?!??! That's a quite odd twist. He will be remembered as a legend. |

Let's hope he will be
I know, but it was necessary in order to save the story. It was Stijn or the story |

Do you mean me in the first line? And I think that this avatar is also better
Good luck in filmschool, maybe you can make a film about cycling

Ian, just wanted to tell you I´m a huge fan since you began this story, but never commented cause I didn´t have enough time. I really like it, and the ``turn´´ you ´ve made to the story it´s AMAZING. Congrats, keep going!

I mean, come on! The whole point was how unique a two-man story could be. I don't feel the ssame without him. I mean, it got annoying that he was freakin OP, but you didn't have to kill him did you?
