12 pics, my year

Not that pay much attention to the New year festivities, another day, just like the sound track “breathe” from telepopmusik, a true classic in my playlist.

Anyway here are 12 pics that sum my 2007 year, that started very badly and ended very well.


January. A cold start, very cold start, my relationship with Planet X didnt go much further than a few months, a mandatory coach change brought to an end my relationship With Planet X around mid year.


February was when my small bike store project saw some light


March, i was in full speed ahead for IMAZ

My blog back then


  April was the start of a dreadfull few months. In IMAZ i got sick before the race and it never happened.

My blog back then


Tried to correct IMAZ failure in Brasil. Lost bike a nightmare that lasted a week.

My sweet federation, has won the 2007 “A$$Holes” award. They have done everything to dont let me race in the european LD champs even when i offered to pay all expenses. they just needed to register me.
Thank you so much

My last try to get a hawaii slot. I was totally burned from constant peaks and after 3 IM venues visited i was well out of decent shape

August. After much indecision, i decided to go back in the drawing board and race IMFL later in the year. My relationship with Planet X was over in august too.

November. IMFL my best result ever and the closest i have been to a victory. I believed at some part of the run but that was it. I had a great race and finished my season in great style :)

My Blog back then


last 1 1/2 month of the year had highs and lows, i was hit by a car and couldnt believe how lucky i was toexcape with only a cracked rib and my father had some serious back problems that prevented him from moving and surgery was required, just a few days ago. He seems to be fine now, hopefully he can go back to his normal routine early in the year

Happy 2008 to all…

    Feliz Año Novo… After following most of your last season, just hope you have a better start this year. Other than IMAZ and IMH, what is your racing schedule looking like?

    Stay wealthy and avoid female drivers, especially when you are on cool bikes, they are jealous… ;)

    Have a great 2008 season,
    Alex
