Mitch Delf's sled may have been stolen, forcing him to contest the La Bresse event on a borrowed (and a size smaller than normal) Operater, but he came through not too shabby considering the time off the bike to heal up a nasty cut in his hand from the North American leg of the tour. He's still off the form he showed last year, but with a bit of luck and some solid training, he will likely crack back into the top twenty at Val di Sole.
