UCI Volta a Galicia

http://www.voltagalicia.com/2008/index.php

Five road races with three top-10's, and a 12th place finish on the final stage, finished 21st overall while winning the Young Riders Jersey for a day to finish 8th overall in that category.

This was my first race back after my week long break off the bike, and probably my best form ever. I took climbers points on some of the biggest climbs of the stage race, finished tied for 8th place in the finish points race, and finished 7th overall in the intermediate sprint points race.
I succeded as a climber, sprinter, and breakaway artist.

the breakdown:

  • 21st overall
  • 8th young rider overall
  • Best Young Rider stage 2
  • 3 top-10 stage finishes
  • 12th place on the final stage
  • 11th place in climbers points
  • 8th place in sprint points
  • 7th place in intermediate sprint points
