That's how long was the race. One week, 4 races and 2 podiums.Starts with the dual climb on Tuesday. Basically you have to go up and down on the dual course, first to arrive at the bottom win. Mick was the only one from the team to race it cause he wanted to go for the overall. It has been a really hard race and after 8 up and down mick ended up with an impressive 2nd place. Good start of the week. ]]> Fri, 20 Jul 2012 16:01:28 -0400 13280 2012-07-20 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13280_-2012-guillaume-gregnanin-7618-1342800428.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13280_-2012-guillaume-gregnanin-8058-1342800429.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13280_-2012-guillaume-gregnanin-7732-1342800429.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13280_-2012-guillaume-gregnanin-7916-1342800429.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13280_-2012-guillaume-gregnanin-7900-1342800429.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13280_-2012-guillaume-gregnanin-7660-1342800430.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/13280_-2012-guillaume-gregnanin-7599-1342800430.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13265-privater-life-jonathan-widen http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13265-privater-life-jonathan-widen The life of a professional mountain bike racer isn't always what people think it is. My summer so far is a great example of the true lifestyle of a privater professional racer trying to make it happen for themselves. This summer I decided to get away from certain sponsorships and keep other ones and get back to the grassroots level of riding, doing it for you and only you. 5.10 and TLD thanks for all the great support. That was my quick shout-out. ]]> Sat, 14 Jul 2012 23:01:00 -0400 13265 2012-07-14 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_2-1342306903.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_1-1342306904.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_3-1342306905.JPG http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13228-tahnee-seagrave-brotherly-love http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13228-tahnee-seagrave-brotherly-love Darn!!
