Bradley White became 3rd in the hard Belgium climbing race in Plombiere near Aubel. In the strong 160 men starting field it was Brad who forced the first serious frontgroup. Halfway the race a second group with James Spragg, who became 8, joined.

The amazing thing about this first podium placing in Europe for Brad is that he had no shoes just before the race. 20 minutes before the start he managed to borrow some shoes from a French rider (thanks again!), he took some spare pedals and cleats from the team, and just on time he was ready to start an excellent race!
