Trinidad and Tobago

by Adam Thuss

Hey guys - just got back into Trinidad from Tobago. We did the Tobago crit last night (and it was hot). The break went early, our plan was to watch the Europeans, and I bridged with an Argentinean. The break worked well together, but of the seven riders, five were Euros and it was looking like they were queuing up for the sprint. I let it rip with three to go and had a decent gap but was chased back. I hung it out a little to see if I could snap them but they were working well together to bring me back. I lined up for the sprint and couldn't come around Emile or Donadio, but slotted in for third. A good first podium for me for the season.

Two more nights of racing and then we are off from here, back home to pack and then out West. Looking forward to getting back with the team!
