Belgium update


You might think the is an exaggeration of the truth but i dont think i looked much better than this when i was done with GP LYS LES LANNOY UCI 1.12
We had a 1k cobble section every lap for 11 laps and the cobbles where covered in mud and other things that are not so nice. Now for everyone at home ill try and paint a picture of wet cobble races. wet open grate bridge but you are going 30kh and cant slow down or your screw and the grate has 2 inch lips at random sticking up to throw your bike off and then you had to go threw tow cornersas well. if you got caught with two people next to each other and could not make the corner you had to shoot off into the mud along the rode and regain composior befor the ditch starts and you fall head first in.
o i almost fogot i crashed in the first 4k of the race as well. there was a bad corner that was taken to fast and somone slid out in front of me so i rode my front wheel straight into their back causing me to flip over my bars and ending up on my feet some how. let just say that was a blessing from god i could of ended up like jimmy casper below.
And last but not least i conquerd the trecherious cobbels and end 23rd.
the race started with around 150 and 28 finished the race.
