Recovered, trained and ready to RACE!
After a two week rehabilitation period off the bike following the crash in Spain, then 2.5 weeks of solid training I am ready to return to racing tomorrow. I will start the GP Cento Carnivale in Cento Italy wtih Team System Data – a flat 110km race, perfect for a return to competition.
I will then travel to France with the Aussie National Team for the Tour of Limousin
I have had a very tough relentless but brillant uninterrupted block of training. Living here in Lucca and working at the SRM Italian HQ has given me a fantastic supportive environment to live and train.

I have done much of my work solo so give much thanks to my Ipod and SRM! It has been a farily demanding training block but have had much support to get over the training peaks from my sponsors in particular 2XU recovery compression and Endura sports nutrition.
A hard day or two were always punctuated with a beautiful view of the mediterranian sea, an ancient mountain top monument or a tuscan sunset.
It’s been a good experience settling in to life here for an extended time, finding my local routines, meeting friends and establishing local networks and necessary services – first and foremost the local patisserie and barrister “Angelo Dolce”, local bakery “Panne Panifico”, my Fiseotherapista / osteo “Francesco” and the go to guy for motorpacing Armondo (offering wthe draft of him in skinsuit on his decked out Cervelo P3 / or his smartcar!) and of course my favourite Parruchiere (= hairdresser) in town Simone!
Here are some shots from some of the kms i’ve been the road
