With a fair few climbs on most of the stages it was looking like a hard tour to get through for me. However I seem to have found my climbing legs in korea and managed to be in the bunch in the 2 hardest stages. I am clearly a better descender than I am climber though, stage 7 I reached 95 kmph on one of the descents whilst chasing back on to the bunch.

 

Racing in Asia is becoming a little bit more like Europe with teams riding together more often, there’s still some crazy stuff going off in the bunch though.

 

Never before have I seen a Harley Davidson as a race motor bike out rider and never before have I seen motorbike out riders crash  into riders whilst passing the peloton.  Not something you want to see.

 

Results wise, we were in the main breakaways every day, but only managed a few top 10′s in the bunch sprints. A little bit disappointing but personally I know I will get some great condition out of the 8 day training effect.
