A little about myself:
New to my channel? I'm an average recreational cyclist that recently moved from America to Girona, Catalunya, Spain. The Vuelta España and The Tour of Catalunya will all be held here in Spain!
Sometimes I race and when I do, I share my training with you along the way. So far, I've done crit racing, road racing and gravel racing. I haven't done a duathlon or a triathlon yet, but it is something I am thinking about!
So far in Spain, I’ve seen DSM cycling, SD Worx, Team Jayco Alula, Rally / Human Powered Health cycling, Ineos, Arkea cycling, UAE team emirates and more all training here. Did you know there’s also a GCN studio here?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't one of the Williams brothers say something about not being in the world tour because of the color of their skin a few years back? A world tour pro spoke out and said, "it's not the color of your skin, it's because you're slow". Now that's funny. Justin also said, "I can race and win in Europe ". Sure you can...

    In all fairness, you can see people line up behind Lamperti. He gets the benefit of that just as Justin (or Charon for older guys) have always received. There is a bunch of fighting on their wheels but essentially they don't have to fight nearly as hard. I do like that the chickens are coming home to roost. (old country saying)

    Once you become a pro in Europe, do you think their cycling mentality is just that much more serious and supreme than in the U.S.? I mean the US has mostly crits... and they have hours long road races, and some crits too, but again. is their level just much greater there generally than the US?
