I did finish my second Skyroad in 98th place with 6h 12 minutes among 500 finishers.

 I started strongly, at km 30 when i had a flat tyre i was in the 2nd group with some 30 guys in front of me. My heart rate at the time was around 165 bpm. 

I lost some 11 minutes to fix the tyre and was surpassed by some 200 guys! After that i lost my group and the possibility of racing behind someone else wheel. I raced alone until km 95 where i found my friend Rodrigo Ribeiro da Cunha. We rode together until the last mountain where i could not keep up with him.

I finish completely empty without food or water.


Last year in a diferent course i did 43th place with 5h 03.

Comparing 2012 vs 2013 the stats are

climbing 2900 mts in 2012 vs 3500 mts this year
160km last year vs 168 km this year
5h03 vs 6h12
max 20 minutes Watts 288 vs 305 this year
average watts 219 both years
average Heart rate 154 both years
calories burned 4800 this year
cadence 79 last year vs 91 this year

and of course last year i did the race in the peloton and this year i was alone trying to make up for the lost time with the flat tyre.
