I began my 16-week winter training plan this week. I have set the Tour of the Battenkill as my first A race of 2012 and the plan is designed to have me in good form by then. This past week consisted primarily of endurance rides and a threshold test to establish my power zones for …

I am happy to report that Alberto managed to hold his lead thanks to the weather and secure a major victory for the Burris Logistics – Fit Werx squad. We are really proud of the job the entire team did in this year’s race. What follows is a race report from stage 3 from both …

Alberto sits in 4th and Philip is in 12th after the stage 1 time trial.
