Clear cross country! Always a relief.
We have just finished winding down and cooling everything down. Cooling temperature, cooling legs, and given that he still seems to be amazingly fit, cooling his attitude getting him back to the lorries after cross country.
I thought that most would go clear but apparently there was quite a few problems on course. We had a bit of time but that was to plan.
The priority is Aachen and this was just to make sure everything is working well. I can't explain well enough how enjoyable he is to ride cross country and I do think I am very lucky to ride him, especially now that he knows the job so much better.
I am going to give the Aussies a hand where I can with the 4 star now so you will probably hear from me tomorrow.
