sunday was the last day of racing. it got CRAZY with everyone supporting their country!



this is my brother, ricky….hes so cool
….

after the race all of the little French and Belgian kids came to Team USA’s trailer to get autographs, and see if they could score some of the tee shirts and such that say USA on them… let me just tell you, it got ROWDY.
Ricky signing an autograph for Tom….(i want to take him home)

it was the most chaotic thing i have ever seen!

we didnt have enough extra shirts for everyone, so me and emily LITERALLY gave people the shirt off our backs!


after all the insanity of becoming shirtless, we went down to the awards ceremony, which was really long and in french, but still really cool.
we werent totally sure which country finished in first place, so we anxiously awaited the results….

TEAM USA WINS FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!

it was so exciting! all the team and the dads got to go up on stage, and they played the National Anthem….it was really, really cool! i am so proud of my brother for representing our country in his field, and so proud of all the riders. its a BIG hassle to race in another country, but it was such a great experience
