To give a quick update, I'm currently riding the ten world orange jersey laps, trying to keep my time roughly around the same as last year. With four events done, I'm only 17 seconds behind schedule. However, I have to redo Innsbruck as I had a bad day when trying to time trial the course last week. It made me depressed, even though I hate the course. It is way too long, even just the climb itself is an entire ftp test and then some. But, I'll try it when I'm feeling good and in the mood for a 45 minute ride. In between the time trials, I am doing a few races for the variety of it.
Down the road? Still looking for WC's in September (and fearful of the 30 km distance in the time trial) I just want to do my best to defend my title. I need an occasional event to gear up for and lately the races have been either missing entirely or scheduled just out of my time table for races. Find something.....
Makuri so far is pretty but not suited for great challenges yet. Maybe as it expands, it will improve. But for now, it is as weak as New York for me. The temple kom is ridiculous. The only real climb is on dirt which I hate. That leaves the boredom of the flat course for the orange jersey.
