Once again back in Belgium after a weekend in Italy. 
Alfredo Binda was a hard race with eight laps of 15km and I was suffering along with the others. Nichole Cooke won solo again, and Laure from my team finished 17th. I finished in the second group, tired but satisfied.
Last week with a lot of hard training and my results from Italy payed off: I´m in the seleccion for Ronde van Flanderen! So the rest of this week is all about preparing and loading my batteries… 
But I´m not only looking forward to sundays racing, on thursday Zingem is going to be invaded by Scandinavian people Martin is arranging a Tour of Flanderen trip for “tourist riders” and it´s going to be nice to see some well-known faces, as my sponsors from Drylane, again!
