@BritishConti If there's an award for DS of the year, Adam Ellis @veloracecoach has almost singlehandedly run ROKiT-SRCT this year, providing opportunities to race abroad and travelling up and down the country every week. Team staff deserve some kudos when most do it for the love of the sport.
Not been the smoothest of seasons but I'd like to thank @CreuseOxygene for having me and all the people who have supported me in chasing the dream these last two years especially @DaveRaynerFund ❤ Merci à tous!
Finished my season on Sunday with a decent 16th at a very wet Classic La CAPA. Not bad considering I spent most of the week in bed with a cold! That's it for me and France for a while as I'll be studying at uni alongside cycling next year.
Good 3J Cherbourg this weekend. Had a good stage 1 in the chase group behind the break. Finished in the bunch day 2 then made the break on day 3 to try and get into the top 20 GC. Last 30km was some of the hardest ever trying to hold off the bunch, getting caught with 7km to go!
4th yesterday at Trophée Maxime Mederel after 110km in the break with these two, with 3 others bridging up halfway through. Good to finally have some legs back after a few months of bad luck! @DaveRaynerFund
A broken saddle scuppered my chances at GP Cours la Ville, clearly need to stay off the pies! Back again for a double header this weekend with GP Bergerau and Bordeaux Saintes @DaveRaynerFund
Day in the chase with @charliepaige01 at Ronde de la Côle yesterday. Tried something on the last climb but it didn't quite come off so I finished 7th for a decent top 10. Hoping for more of the same today in Mensignac! @DaveRaynerFund
The fun never stops with a triple race weekend coming up. Ronde de la Côle and Trophée Gilbert Cuménal on Saturday and Sunday near Périgueux then Grand Prix de la Municipalité Elite Nat on Monday in Angoulême. @DaveRaynerFund
Wind, rain, 3 punctures, 1 crash and 5 broken spokes made Tour de Loiret the worst weekend ever for me. But good to get some big days of racing in before the big targets of the season. @DaveRaynerFund #raynerfdn
Getting a race cancelled 2 hours before the start is definitely peak covid. The race was in a lockdown area but got given the go ahead yesterday only for the prefecture to change their minds after we've driven halfway there!!! 🤬 @DaveRaynerFund #putain
Turns out the B in 4B stands for Bad luck. Crashed 5km in to the race yesterday and had to wait 2 minutes for my bike to be fixed. Spent 40km chasing in the cars and made it back to the bunch but had no gas left for when it kicked off again!! 😭 @DaveRaynerFund
