Eric Bennett reports from Holland

Hey everyone!

Raced this weekend in Holland. SO windy and flat. Saturday went real well for me, I finished in the front group and got 25th. Sunday was now the hardest race I have ever done. 210k, with Skil Shimano and Rabobank. Theo Bos won. My role was to ride agressive the first half of the race and try and make it to the finish. I covered several moves, and made a good brake for the first 100k. Everything came back together and Rabobank controlled the race. I got popped with 20k left, once they really started picking up the leadout I couldnt hold on any longer. Our best finisher was Austin Carroll at 21st.

Next for me is a race in Frankfort Germany Friday, then I race in Luxenburg Saturday and Holland Sunday. Its going to be a good week, just trying to rest up now. Having so much fun. Ill keep everyone posted.
