You should slow way down on the who!e course. Look at what happened on that hill in the Olympics to the Dutch girl. Safety first. You notice I always ride a sensible pace.

I came off the power near the top and then changed down prior to the incline and just started spinning as much as possible. Seemed to work better than the previous laps.

I thought I was doing my bit for safety when my wife said that I was flashing during the ride, it was only afterwards that I realised my rear light was still in the tool box...

My plan was:
After seeing what happened on the first lap, to get to the top of the first peak about 15 secs ahead of you assuming you would strike back through the descents and dead stop.
It was kind of working but after the 3rd set of peaks I was on the flat before you.
I was backing off to wait for you but then I noticed Jacob just behind you so I thought that you was actually your ghost from Thursday so I then thought I best put the hammer down, or whatever hammer I had left.
It's so hard to judge exactly how far back folk are from you on rides like that as you can loose it all in a moment on a dead stop.
None the less you did well on the last lap to stay just 12 seconds behind me.
I did cuss a bit near the beginning when that guy flew past us both.
I though 'what the!' but we both gave him a good ignoring and he then disappeared somehow.
I also did a recce of stage 3 tonight as well and I think I am going to suffer at the hands of DP and Jacob on that one.

To be fair, I didn't think I would beat your time as you was close to @Goldwolfie and @bobinski and ahead of @Noah Street who normally smashes me. I added ghost with times from just faster than you to a few minutes slower than you as I didn't know where I'd end up. Took me all my effort to stay in front of you and Bob - had you both been racing live I'm not convinced I'd have beat you as you would have been able to respond to me.

Bridgy, dome a favour and go look at the results for stage 4.
At the top should be boxes with you a tempt times in.
Click on the quickest one from toady and post the screen grab (print screen) on here.
Mine is not registering because it doesn't think my time has imporoved
I can only assume you took that course easy, or your new turbo has massively handicapped you, because there is no way I should be faster than you!Thank you @Whorty

This happened to me re-races of stage 1. It would appear that the first time you try the stage it goes into the stage results immediately, however re-runs took several days to be added. It is likely that Bkool have to look at them to approve them.
Edit. Just checked my stage 1 times and the 2,3,4th attempts which were added as faster times has the same x in the same place. Don't worry, it is as above and they will get added.

It is to do with subsequent rides not loading times up immediately which was the same for my subsequent stage one rides. They'll probably do it on Monday when they are back in the office.Looking at DP ride you are there in the competitors list. Good news at least your ride has been recorded somewhere. Given the slow pace rides are uploaded give it a day
