Great Wall
I have just returned back home to Belgium after being in France for two weeks where we were staying in school accommodation without internet!

Livigno
Being my 7th year here, Livigno feels like my second home. I always feel so focused, happy and relaxed here and training is just the best to rebuild for the second half of the season. It is a small town in the mountains at an altitude of 1870m on the Swiss-Italian border and attracts skiers galore in the winter and many cyclists and shoppers in the summer.

I arrived in Italy a little over a week ago and have been staying in ‘Varese’ at the Australian base .....

"Flanders & Drenthe World Cups"
The second World Cup of the season was the Ronde van Vlaanderen (Tour of Flanders) in Belgium and was held just before the men’s race. It is such a classic bike race with a very impressive history and is held in very high esteem among all cyclists, and obviously, especially Belgians.

"Back in the Bunch"
Hi. How's it all going? It's been full on over here since arriving in Europe but I am loving being back in the racing saddle full time again. After spending so much time away from cycling last year, I was prepared both mentally and physically for the tough racing but I could never have prepared for what awaited me in my first few European races!
