I'm hoping to cancel out as much of Dean's time as I can Come on those Danish Merry Men

It's the down section I'm not looking forward to

 

[Whorty]

Go Breedon!! Aim for a 36-41 minute ride.

Bloody hope he doesn't My target was around 42 mins

Haha, the more reason to do so

I've seen people's times my captain is a ball braker

Getting my excuses in early, but i did a 70 mins race on Zwift yesterday, once up Leith Hill, once up Box hill, so legs a bit tired Any time I lose is purely because of that

Thankfully I'm the recognised weak link in our team, so there is less pressure on me I better not let @Brusgaard down though, else he'll give me a kicking

With the front derailleur only on the big ring the downhill should be your friend. Just a shame you’ve lost all that weight.

And? How did you do?

@Rod McG

How about some pictures of the new gravel grinder?

Yeah, the weight loss down hill didn't help @microkid was hunting me down the whole way! Managed a decent 40:49 so pleased with that

Will do, but it will be next weekend before I see it in the light. Its a Specialized CruX Elite EVO with 38 mm tyres. It likes to go sideways on icy tracks, but maybe I need to reduce the tyre pressures to suit!

Even my ghost hunts you down 😂

Wow that Denmark team is a drilled team unit, just 12 seconds covering the 4 of them on stage 2! Great effort @Whorty

Just compared my full ride against Steen's. I went over the top about 1:12 faster, and he was only a few seconds behind at the finish. I'm definitely finding my climbing legs at the moment, just wish I could find a sandbag or 2 at the top of the hill to help me on the downhill section

Good news because stage three is not easy, with hardly any downhill and a tough climb at the end. It's only a shame there's no video because it is in an area that has is one of the most beautiful I've ever cycled in.
