No World Cup for me...this time round.

Hi folks - I just wanted to let you know that I won't be racing tomorrow. I'm still not 100% and we decided that it would smarter to rest up in preparation for the 10 day Tour de L'Aude stage race that begins later next week. We also have a 7th rider with us right now, so it seemed silly to have a health person sitting out the race while tried to race sick. The World Cup is a big show, so it is disappointing to not race, but there will be many more days of racing to come. The world cups are the next biggest race to the world championships, so you need to be 100% to even hope to stay in the race. I will ride in the team car tomorrow, which will be an adventure in itself. The world hockey championships are taking place in Berne as we speak - Canada will be playing in the gold medal game on Sunday. We tried to get tickets, but of course things have long been sold out.
