Tour De Kumano; JBCF E2.
Prologue:
I woke up at 5am on Thursday feeling very positive, regardless of the poor week of sleep and the coughing fits that had started on Tuesday that could render me incapable of stopping the coughing cycle once they had started.
This was the tour De Kumano, probably the best road race on the JBCF calendar with teams from all over Japan as well as the world competing for glory. Champion System is the title sponsor for the UCI Pro Continental race so we would have not only the support of the local office but also the full force of the Pro Conti Team's mechanic, soigneur and tactics from the DS's as Pro tour as you can get.
The drive down was uneventful and it was nice to ride with the team and only have to put one stint of driving in.
We soon arrived and decided to do some intervals to get the blood flowing through the legs in preparation for the 1st stage then an early night.
