A good day out yesterday for the men in green! 

We were racing in the Pro Kermess race in Puivelde. 170kms on a 15 km circuit. Early in the race a break of around 10 went clear, with Nico there it was good for us to sit tight and let the others do the hard work. About 100ks later after a long chase by the Landbouwcredit team the break came back. We knew this was were the race would be won so the boys in green were all near the front, floating round keen as mustard. I tried a few attacks and digs but didn't have much luck. Steven Van Vooren ( a team mate ) had a bit more luck with his attack and went clear with a group of 6 also containing Nico even after being up the road already for over 100km. So we had 2 in a break of 6, the ratio was good and us boys left in the Peloton did our best to disrupt the chase and let the gap grow. 3 laps of chasing attacks and we were coming into the finish with the break comfortably clear. Job done for us and we had our fingers crossed for Nico and Steven. They were in good company up there with the likes of Martin Maaskant who has some pretty good results in the bag so far. Anyway the boys did good! Well i think that would be an understatement. They attacked clear from the break together and finished together 30 seconds up on the other 4 with Steven crossing the line first and Nico 2nd! Good work boys! 

A good day out for the Green Machine
