Sounds like the crowds are big and almost as enthusiastic as we had at Nationals here in Portland! The World Cup in Hofstade was very wet and muddy with many small power hills. Much like Nats this year. Nys said it was great to have a "classic" Belgian course and win. Tonkin said it was a difficult race and he just did not have the legs. There were many difficult very steep pitches and a lot of sand. Trebon had a fantastic race and to get 25th in a field that was deep and strong. The race today (12/30) was a strong race for Tonkin and 17th is a solid placing, particulary when you look at the close company. 12/30/04 Surhuisterveen, Netherlands 1. Richard Groendendaal 2.
