In a change from the past couple of years the organiser of Assen decided that instead of a time trial the motor racing circuit should host a road stage. We had 11 laps of the wide rolling course and as we set off I was fairly nervous. The Klassiker the day before had really taken […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
As this race goes the second and longest stage is the big one. It is the only point to point stage I have ever done as a Junior and this year they changed the course. Last year there were 1km of cobbles and this year there were 4.4km of them. But to be honest the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Unlike last year this was the first proper stage of the race. It is a 9km course shaped in a figure of eight centred around a 300 metre section of cobbles. Each lap this is where the race splits up. Our field of around 90 riders set off quite early in the morning. I was […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This day was one of my better days in the race. I worked hard for my teammates, moving them up the bunch and even attacked once to liven up the chase of a dangeruos move up the road that contained some rivals to our team. What a contrast from last year where I did not […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yesterday was the day of the Time trial. The course had a tricky start with two very tight shickanes. These both had to be taken on the tops rather than the extensions as proven by Sam who tried to go around on the extensions and unfortunately crashed and lost a couple of minutes.

This shows you just how close everything is here. Apart from the starter counting down for me in German there was […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Assen day one, not much has happened so far as it is the first day. We got here safely which was good and the sleep on the ferry was alright. The whole team is here and I should explain that I am sharing a room with Kristian. He is an under 16 but also a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hi,
My name is Josh and I am proudly cycling in the Second Catergory of National Rankings in the UK. The interest for cycling started about four years ago, when I was searching for a way to stay fit in the rugby off-season.
Thanks to Orbit Software’s sponsorship, I am able to evolve fully in the cycling sport. Without Orbit Software’s support I would not have been able to achieve the Second Category in the National Rankings by the age of 17 years.
I hope my passion for cycling will be transformed throughout my ORBiTeer Cycling Blog.
Welcome to my blog!
