1st day in USA.
A night with an early wake up at 2 a.m. and then an incomplete rest until 7 o'clock. After breakfast we prepared for training. After just 2 km I had to go back to the hotel for a mechanical problem. I broke my carbon handlebars!
Probably it received some bad treatment during the plane trip and broke. So I started the training ride alone, 30' minutes later than my team-mates. I trained alone, as I couldn't find any of my team-mates. Anyway I trained in a beautiful landscape near the Savannah river. It has been like being in the "Forrest Gump" movie. Today there will be a team presentation after the press conference where everybody is waiting for the "don't miss" statement from Armstrong.
I'll keep you updated.
Bye!
Marco Pinotti
