Post Tour Crit...
Here are some photos Mika and I shot at this post tour crit the other night... Credit Agricole, FD Jeux, Cofidis, Phonak, Bouygeus telecom, AG2R, Jean Floch, Ragt, and our very own Karl Freeman from VC Pontivy were there... Karl ended up with 8th place beating out Moreau and some other decent pros for the sprint... it was really cool to watch... here are some of the pics... enjoy...

saw your posts on Saunder's site. sounds like a cool gig, racing in France. How'd you make that work?
Erik is actually my coach and he helped me get out here... most teams are looking a few foreign riders... Erik helped set everything up as he speaks French and I didn't at the time... it's definitley a huge step above the states, but it's a great experience...
nice. well, best of luck with the rest of your season. I imagine you'll come back and have something to show the local boys.
Hey, I was a bit curios about how you found your way over there. Thats cool that Erik helped you out. but now having done it your self, do you think it would be possible for someone to just move over there and find a team to ride with, or do you really need someone to help you out.
Yea, in fact I know a couple guys who are out here with their own apartment racing for a regional team. you would be left to fend for yourself for the most part. The team these guys ride for give them 1 pair of kit and transportation to and from races. they have their own bike and pay for their apartment and groceries. If you rode for a national team, you would normally get an apartment and a bike... but, it's a bit tougher to get on a national team unless you know somebody...email me and I'll get into it more...
