I have been incredibly busy since my arrival in the US 2 weeks ago. Moved to Reno NV from Bend OR, did 3 days’ tire testing with Specialized and I bought a car. (yes, the legendary Red Rocket fizzled and died, now I have a 95 Toyota Previa- I like last centuries’ cars)

Of course there is training too.

ar. Its a great piece: It features Christoph Sauser, Burry Stander, Lene Byberg and myself as riders, and Frank Stacey, Benno Willeit and Dylan van der Merwe as tech crew. Enjoy!
