Best ride/result of the season? I think the best ride I had would probably have been the first stage of the Tour of Antwerpen in Belgium. It was a 4.4km prologue where I placed 24th out of 200, and I was only 12 seconds from the winner.
Best experience (on or off the bike)? The best experience off the bike would have to be watching the first stage of the Eneco Tour in Rotordam. For me, even watching the final stage of the Tour de France in Paris couldn't beat the Eneco Tour.
Next races / goals before the end of the international season? My last race is on the 27th of September in Belgium called the Gooikse Pijl. It is a pretty tough race from what I have heard. It is very fast paced using big gears over a few climbs, which kind of suits me, and I hope to do well. A top 10 would be good, but really I'd be happy enough just to finish in the top 50
Were you happy with your 2009 International season? My 2009 international season could have been better, I would have liked it to be a wee bit better, but otherwise it turned out not to bad.
When are you back in NZ? I arrive back in New Zealand on the 1st of October. My home is in Dunedin, Otago, so it was good to be in Europe over winter. Dunedin is freezing cold!
My main focus is on the Elite and Club Nationals time trials, the Elite more so than the Club Nationals, and also the Oceania Time Trial and Road Race.
