So close, but yet far away!

This was my last day in training camp in Cyprus. This wa being celebrated with a race of course. Everything has actually been going my way, training has been good, the course suits me, and my bike suits the course just perfect. The course had relative short climbs, but very steep, and some cool decents, with nice rockgardens. So the scenarie was set. Before the start I had small accident with a puncture and a small argument with an uci-commisaire about starting position, but nothing that could spoil my day. Well I started out in position 40, and after the start loop I think I was somewhere the same. These starts tend to be faster and faster. Slowly I started to work my way up through the field, I definatly had an advantage of my suspension on this rocky course. I the end of second last lap I had a rear-wheel puncture, well, my wheel got torn completely apart, sad as I was in 8-10th position an moving forward. So everything was a kind of wasted work. But hey, now I know my form is in the right place, but it would have been nice though with a good result. Tomorrow I will go back to Denmark, and do my last training before the Danish season-opener. I can guarantee the I will do my best to get a top finish there.
