Ronde des Vallées, Bretagne, France

September 15th

Having come off the plane 2 days before Sunday's race, the day started out a bit rough with a 6km ITT at 8 AM. For Maxime Vives, Andrew Davidson and Marsh Cooper, the ITT went not too bad. Cabrel Boucher and Mark Pozniak had it a bit harder but no worries there.

In the afternoon, the stage was one of 120km with wind, and hills and a pack of 120 riders from different regions of France and a few Belgian team, with Cam Evans racing with Domo-Sweet Paradise.

The race started pretty fast and furious with all wanting the head of the peleton. Our guys were having some problems getting positioned, though they will learn to keep the elbows out.

A break went up the road after 15 km with Cam present in it. As for the other Canucks, they were still trying to find their way to the front.

From that point on it was an illimination race from the back and the guys wearing the leaf were having a bit of difficulties; what with the jetlag and the adaptation not there yet.

In the end, nobody was really in the running and Cam who was in the final break broke his chain and had to abandon.

All in all, this race was the first in a series of 6 to 8 that are destined to get the juniors ready for worlds. While this last one was a bit of a rude awakening, I am confident that they will progress to be competitive for worlds. This system has worked in the past and it will work again...
