  1. Get support to complete the season best as possible.
  2. 5months on the road, 3 of them at 1800m in Livingo? Not really the best plan performance wise. Last thing you want to do is live at 1800m constantly.
  3. Its not only about tax, its a has many benefits to live there and its great, I enjoy it. I also really enjoy my time when Im in Girona between. The travel isnt an issue if If you have your own car or can afford a private taxi. Remember when you going to a race, often a 1 or few others are and you split the fee. Then it's not 3 hours, 3 hours is by bus if you have no car. If you want a private taxi it's quicker but 250e 1 way. So for a privateer with no large financial backing or a struggling privateer its not really an ideal place to base yourself
  4. Yes this is a pretty *** idea if performance is your real outcome and it's not that cheap at all as you said.
  5. You need to base yourself on the following: Financial sense - no point if you trying to work on a tight budget to base yourself in Girona, its really expensive for accomodation even when sharing - and daily living costs. Travel - you need to be near fairly easy access to and from races. Also what s cheap for travel. Andorra is 3hrs by bus each way as said to an airport or train, unless you flying private. BCN is 1.5hrs by car from girona and a train will be an hour with a change. remember they dont run alll night and a private taxi is 150e each way. Training - you need good enviroment for this, it needs to cater to and for your needs as an athlete. General - hospitals, support like a bike shop for example etc. So to say I wish a SAFFA (or anyone) in Andorra or Girona etc should help, isnt really a thought out comment for many basic factors for a said athlete. Who's cover extras like water, electricity, gas, who's doing the washing, cleaning up, cooking, paying for food for starters and it goes much deeper. I hope he finds a solution he needs to be racing in Europe to progress like he has
  6. Andorra is far from convenient- travel to and from an airport or train station is 3hrs each way for starters.
  7. By doing what or how?
  8. destroyed wheel
  9. No they were held back and nutralised. the chase was over and they brought that break back quick when the chase was on.
  10. 150/10 for his performance. Shows you road racing is not only about numbers your power meter tells you.
  11. Yes, cause if you watched the coverage on IG they were giving out times to front group.
  12. Then Boksburg cleans up no??
  13. If you let a group of 13 go up the road with 6.5min thats not negative, thats not being able to read a race. If you have a team mate in the break of 13, why do a turn?
