The Tour of Sharjah was a last minute addition to my calendar. With the track nationals postponed to January, I want to keep good form until my final track preparation and so I joined Norco Premier Tech out of Quebec to race that tour in Dubai. I didn't achieved my pre-race goal of a podium and top 8 in GC, but still it was a good experience and solide 4 days of racing.

From October 25th to November 1st, I am racing the 54th Vuelta Guatemala, a 8 day stage race of category 2.2 with mexican team Canel's Turbo. Today, I came close of winning the stage, but first, here is a resume of the first 3 days. 

The Vuelta Guatemala is finished. I did not succeed in my bet of winning a stage, however I am satisfied with my performances over the week given all the adversity I encountered.

Yesterday was the start of the 2014 Tobago Cycling Classic. It is a special event for me as it was my first international race outside of Canada in 2005 as a junior rider. It didn’t go well that year, as I broke my chain on Stage 2, crashed hard, and spent the remaining days finishing my Algebra homework.
