Racing the WC was incredible today. Lining up with the worlds best was an amazing experience. Making it four laps before getting pulled was also somewhat of a success. I finished 90th in a field of 120 or so; not too bad for a first time attempt. It was full on from the gun and a game of survivial from then on. I was feeling strong and riding the singletrack well which is success enough. Hearing the chants of a largely French speaking crowd was so cool and I can’t wait until my next world cup experience. I now have a better understanding of what it will take to move up in the ranks. It all really comes down to max power and that ever important first lap… All for now, the next couple days will be long ones on the roads of Canada before re-entering the states into the UP of Michigan. Until next time, keep it real. TJ
