Well, our race went poorly, while Gary seemed to miss a split at a bad moment to bridge, I made it with the front for long enough that the lack of real training called me out. The race was turning out to be a kind of windy grind of steady speed, exactly the conditions that break me:)
Looks like the big powerhouses were in there element, they’re strong and well trained, that spells an early end for me. It was impressive to see some strong guys do there stuff. I was a bit surprised at some of the cornering I witnessed in the race though, riders were taking turns very wide and not all that fast. Perhaps the wind made lines sketchy.
One thing I’d like to see is a few more smiles out there, it really seems a bit too serious. I know there is money on the line, lots of hard training to prove, but don’t forget it’s all for the joy of pretending to be a big racer.
