Hi All,
I was hoping to see the final results for this stage before posting anything on Ryan's blog but they aren't available yet.
Stage 4 for Ryan had a few ups and down with him dropping his chain at the start of a climb and then having to chase back on and then also having 2 punctures. But he finished strongly and we think he was about 15th on the stage with most of the remaining riders finishing together.
So, we are assuming he has stayed where he was ion GC, 17th overall and 6th in the young rider classification. A great effort from him and he still looked very good at the finish.
We now leave Ryan in Belgium for a couple of days in Paris and a couple of days in England before returning to NZ.
Ryan's next race is a pro kermesse on Tuesday and the probably the Tour of Liese starting on 17th. It was great to meet most of his teammates and the team management and see how it all works over here. They certainly know how to run a race and the people are so relaxed about being held up on the roads as the race goes through.
Paul
