It's been a 'relatively' quite few weeks for me, we're not sorry about that. While training has been mostly dictated by the orthopedic surgeon, having time off the bike does allow to have some time with family and friends. A couple of criteriums so that I don't forget the joys of travelling.... Mostly though, working with the physiotherapist to get mobility back in my arm. It's coming along, as the bone (radius head) heals, the range of extension in returning. It's not 100%, but good enough to train normally now.

 From here on, I'll stick with a European race program leading into the Worlds. Mostly to be close to the doctors and therapists, but also to reduce the travel load. We (BMC) do not participate in the Vuelta, two Grand Tours is enough for our younger smaller team. With the races I concentrate on outside of the Grand Tours, two of them is already a lot.

 Next stop for me will be Paris-Brussels, GP Fourmie and GP Wallone. I still have a bit of work to do before then, but it's coming along...
