Thank you Lord for keeping safe! Thanks to my Mom, Wife and Caylin. With out you, this trip would have never happened! Also thanks to all the cheering every lap. There were several others at the race yelling, Go Jeremy! I think I heard my name 4 different times each lap for all 50 laps! Thank you all a bunch! I wish I could have won that race, maybe next year!

Highlights, wreck after wreck after wreck! No joke it was very hard not to be in one. I had to do a track stance once bumping shoulders and handle bars, but very lucky! Marco and I were at the back of the 133 riders then he moved up and won a couple of primes. I was hurting the whole race but managed to get up front the lap of the $500 half way prime. Curtis Gunn took the money well deserved after holding off the field for 4 laps.

3 laps to go and I just missed the biggest wreck of the day! Gamm was stuck in it or he would have won the race! As for me I wish I hadn't have wrecked 2 weeks ago. 1 hour of hard riding in two weeks is not the way to go into the biggest race of your cycling season.

Great experience for next year I just pray I am healthy for this race!

So to have the best legs of my life, at crit natz, and be in perfect position with less than 3 laps to go, then have some no talent clowns crash in front of me, really sucks.

it was great to have Rish and Grimm there, both rode great

Im going to take out every ounce of frustration on some unsuspecting french racers in a little over a week
