Training camp season has nearly finished for this year, all the Pro teams have gone and there are only small groups of pros getting some extra training here on the east coast of Spain. All the top teams come here and some of the smaller ones too, Twenty3c-Orbea had been getting the miles in when I called on them in Torrellano.

After yesterday's team presentation, interviews, and wine tasting, today was meant to give us a chance to photograph the riders on a team ride...no chance! But it did give us more chance to take a very close look at the bikes, just wish there had been a chance to test ride a BMC impec, but not in this weather!

I’ve gotten to know many good people during my visits to the RadioShack and Quick-Step teams, but I didn’t know what to expect at BMC! I shouldn’t have worried, two great days with access to any area or rider I wanted. Couldn’t have been better...well except the weather, even the BMC team can’t control that!
