Giro!

Vai, vai! Well we went off to watch the Giro d'Italia and it was bella!


Although it rained a lot and was pretty freaking cold, we still had fun, saw the stars and I bumped into old university friend too. We were on the Tre Croci on one of the toughest mountain stages of the race and many of the cyclists looked pretty tired and cold.




But there is definitely something great about cycling when you can just rock up by the side of the road with a couple of million Italians and watch the best professionals race past. Forza Italia!

Montpellier

Spent last weekend down in Montpellier, France for the Nokia FISE festival. I was working, but it was still a pretty neat couple of days and I got to hang out with some real nice folks.

Montpellier is a beautiful town, lots of typically French alleys and cafes to explore


The BMXing was absolutely amazing - best I've ever seen live for sure.


I was working on the Braun cruZer Tour part of the festival. Excellent competition and you can check the videos here: Daniel Dhers from Venezuela was my favourite. Super smooth and he should have won if you ask me..
