I am taking a break from twitter. Keeping track of the cycling news every day of the week is a hard job, a job for which I don’t get paid but which I loved to do.
However, I noticed that I get stressed because of twitter at the moment so I will try and leave it for a while. Social media can be a great thing but it can also take up a lot, or too much of your time.
Social media can become an addiction. I noticed that my mood goes up and down because of things I read online. Happiness, jealousy, anxiety and anger. That is a hard thing to realize and something I need to address now
Furthermore words are only words. And Twitter only offer 140 characters. It causes and caused misundstandings and people misjudging me.
In two weeks from now I go to Luxembourg to report on the Tour of Luxembourg. I will try and stay off twitter and this blog untill then. To see if I can still live without it….And if I don’t, to get rid of this addiction and get a healthier view towards the online universe
If you need to contact me, send a DM or an e-mail
Love,
José
Pozzato runs down Goss in the final turn of the 9th stage. The crash takes out Cavendish and Renshaw too
The Eurosport Player enables you to watch live cycling on your Ipad. Therefore this series of the Cavendish crash in stage 3. Ferrari (AND) left his line and Cavendish couldn’t evade him. The Italian was relegated
One week before the Giro Eurosport’s Stefano Bernabino spoke to the winner of 2011. By a large margin on Michele Scarponi Alberto Contador won the Tour of Italy but was stripped of his title.

Some quotes:
“I don’t have a signed contract with Saxo Bank get. The team is very special to me and has my priority. I am negociating with more teams though but I can’t think of another team to ride for in August”
“The Eneco Tour is a possibility for my comeback, or Clasica San Sebastian. I don’t know yet. This year will be a year in which I will race to the end of the season. Freshness is pivotal”
