Took advantage of one of the last opportunities to get out of Andorra and string together some long training days to start building a bit of a base again.

The heat definitely made things a little tougher, but it was great to get out, enjoy the riding, and spend a few days on the road. The biggest motivation, though, was having my little man and Mum meeting me along the way to top up bottles and keep me rolling.

I’m still not sure who had more fun — me out on the bike or Harrison in the car. Seeing his excitement was all the encouragement I needed to keep turning the pedals.

A few nice hotels, plenty of kilometres, and some quality father-son time made for a pretty special little adventure. We’re making the most of these moments while we can before baby number two arrives and our team grows from three to four.

A few weeks post-Giro and it’s good to finally be on the right side of things again.

2 weeks post-Giro and things are finally starting to head in the right direction. The concussion symptoms have turned a corner, the metrics and S**T protocols are showing good progress, and most importantly I’m feeling good again. Really happy with where things are at.

The elbow has also progressed a lot quicker than the old scaphoid did, which has meant I’ve been able to get back out for some easy rides outdoors already.

Not going to lie, this year has been a tough one mentally. Every time things start building in the right direction, another setback seems to pop up, and when a lot of it is completely out of your control it definitely wears thin.

But nothing changes there — Team Vine is fully behind me, helping work through it all and plan the next steps forward.

For now though, the focus is at home with Bre getting very close to her due date. Baby number two will be taking top priority over the next little while.

Also appreciate all the messages and well wishes over the past few weeks. Doesn’t go unnoticed 🫡

Stage one done and dusted. This one was for the fast boys — all about staying safe, staying out of trouble, and surviving what was always going to be a messy sprint finish with the pink jersey up for grabs.

We kept our nose clean, and just got caught behind the crash but wasn’t involved, so that’s good. Onto day two!

Giro Italia 2026 coming in fast - We’ve got a really good team line up here, and I’m genuinely excited to see the results we can pull-off together. Bring it on! 🤜🤛

Back on here for a little life update — it’s been a while.

Since Volta a Catalunya, I’ve been home in Andorra soaking up some quality time with the family, while also putting a big focus on rehab for the wrist. Really happy with how things have been progressing on that front — it’s been a lot of work behind the scenes, but it’s starting to pay off.

I also managed to get a solid little stint of altitude in at home before heading off to join the team here in Sierra Nevada for camp. It’s always a good block up here with the boys — simple routine of training, eating, recovering… repeat.

Haven’t shared much lately, not for lack of updates, just been busy juggling training, rehab appointments, and family time. But everything’s moving in the right direction.

With the Giro d’Italia coming up in a few weeks, I’m getting excited to pin a number on again. Training’s been solid, the body’s feeling good, and I’m looking forward to getting back into racing.

Not long now 🇮🇹

Stage 2 in the books for Catalunya daily work on the wrist is really important at this point in the recovery and increased load of the racing. 5 days to go here in Spain before it’s back to Andorra for some more work !

First day back in the Peloton after my injury! Still a lot of progression needs to happen with the wrist in regards to pain management but we have come along way in the last 4 weeks since hitting the roads again !
6 more stages of Catalunya to come!!

Getting back to it slowly

Enjoying some spring weather before the turn this weekend. The family and I are trying to make the most of the time we have together before my recovery finishes.

Getting outdoors again has been great but another cold spell has made the temperature a bit sub optimal; so much for spring has sprung 😂
