Tour of Majorca
Greasemonkey &bull Mar 17, 2009
With a little bit of time up our sleeve we managed to get a few of the riders away from the cold of the northern part of Europe to the sunny isle of Majorca (Ibiza is the island next door). This is an island off the coast of Spain, and it's one of the those popular places that thousands of riders and many teams head to sooner or later when the winter in Europe… Full Story »

New Seasons Bikes
Greasemonkey &bull Feb 21, 2009
With the sunshine of Qatar gone for another year, we headed back to the cold weather of Holland. Winter was still there, it had not gone anywhere, but we had a bit of work to do, so at least I would be busy and warm for a few days. The bikes were ready for delivery, or more importantly, ready for us to pick up. Stevens Bike Company was in the north of Germany, in the city of Hamburg only about 600km away. We decided it would be quicker to… Full Story »

Tour of Qatar- Race review
Greasemonkey &bull Feb 16, 2009
After a bit of a drive we arrived at the airport in Frankfurt for the flight to Doha, the biggest city of Qatar. We had a team of six riders, and staff of three, so the pile of bikes and luggage was pretty massive, we were expecting a bit of a fight to get it all on the plane, let alone for free. We only had eight bikes, five spare sets of wheels, massage table, nine very large personal bags, tools and work-stand, radio gear, 100 bidons, massage, nutrition and hydration products, so you can imagine the pile. At least… Full Story »

CycloCross Worlds
Greasemonkey &bull Feb 6, 2009
Within a few days of arriving in the Netherlands my body was slowly adapting to the cold, with the maximum protest of course. Coming from a tropical island in the middle of the pacific, right smack in the middle of summer, I knew what to expect heading north, though I had tried not to think of it. Normally I am not this early to a European winter, so I was at least mentally prepared, and I had enough warm clothing with me. I was to arrive just in time for the 'World Cyclo-Cross Championships', being held in Holland a few… Full Story »
