Je suis un athlète en cyclisme route et piste et entrepreneur. Mon parcours n'a rien de standard. Suivez mes aventures cyclistes ici; j'y parle de bicycle, voyage, entraînement, nutrition et environnement !

After a tough world cup in Beijing where I got quite sick, I took some time off to balance the options for the 2012 season. It came out I wanted to be on races that best suit me; criteriums and fast races. I then been in touch with Emile Abraham who runs one of the best amateur teams of USA; Rossetti Devo Cycling Team.

 

Himself an excellent rider, Emile put together a strong core of cyclist from 6 different nations;

Emile Abraham: Trinidad
Gevan Samuel: Trinidad
Daniel Asconeguy - Uruguay
Ricardo Giraldo Sierra - Colombia
Jean-Michel Lachance - Canada
Benjamin Bryant - USA
Franco - Puerto Rico

The calendar is still in the oven, but promised to be filled with some of the best races around USA, Canada, Trinidad, Puerto Rico and other countries.

Our sponsors includes Rossetti bikes which are simply amazing, the best bike shop in Atlanta Outback bikes, EDA construction, SauceBox cyclewear and a few others.

For this venture, I drove a crazy 2250km in two days to finally arrive on wednesday 14th. The following day, was one of those days... building the bike, adjusting the position and finally a short ride who ended up a long 4h. The next weekend, we had two races on the program. I was a bit anxious about my fitness with a few weeks completely off trainning and a good 3 and half month off the road. Speaking about winter trainning, it was pretty much the first time in 4 years, I spent the whole winter in Quebec city. Preparing a road season in the cold is never easy and it takes a lot of motivation to train at high intensity on the trainer.

Anyhow, I took part to the two races; a 1h crit on saturday and a 71miles road race on sunday. To be honest, I was happily surprised with my form. My legs were still sore from the 2 first riders the past 2 days. I tried to go away a few time in the crit, won one prime after the breakaway lapped us and I went on about 40km solo breakaway on the road race.

Next on the program is a race in Tampa, Florida.
