Tough First 2 Days at GBFI for Yolandi

The opening 2 days of the Grande Boucle Feminine Internationale have been very tough.

Stage 1 was over a lot of the difficult cobble sections in Flanders. Yolandi's bike had been set up incorrectly and her saddle was too high, hopefully no damage but she did say that her knees and hamstrings were very sore. She did manage to win the jersey for "Most Elegant Rider" - don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing!

Stage 2 she broke her seatpost and had to ride one of the spare bikes for part of the stage, until the team got her bike sorted out.

I'm not sure if she will get a chance to update her blog: http://yolandidutoit.blogspot.com/
