Cheers Serenaur! Yep my back problem has flared up again. 2 prolapse discs are an ongoing problem.
I'll be back for World Championships and ProTour finals. Best 4 from 5 rounds to count for the overall so I've still got a chance for the overall.
Hope you're all watching the live feed in 10 minutes....
Thanks for the update - hope he's back and ripping for Val Di Sole! Do all round scores count for the overall or do they drop the worst score round for each rider?
