Hi BiciRace,
I've packed my case and will do my last training in the sunny, but cold, Bergamo, before heading again to California for the eagerly awaited Tour of California. After Donoratico [GP Costa degli Etruschi] my training has focused on endurance and climbing skills, while struggling with freezing cold. This winter I used different training tools: road bike, the track, mountain bike and my home trainer.
I miss the relationships with my teammate, the sun and competition. ... I will find all in California.
I am glad that Saul Raisin, one of the Inside Scoop writers for BiciRace.com, has won such a hard stage in Langkawi. [Read Tour de Langkawi] I too will benefit from the bond that joins BiciRace.com's readers together if all of you will support me to be stronger and faster in this 2006.
bye,
Marco
