Well done Lee - I guess we'll have to wait and see how beatable that is - If I do beat that time, I'm going to have to put a really big effort in because your watts are pretty much identical to that first TT we did, and on that I had to average over 300 watts to beat you by just 25 seconds. Not really looking forward to that!

I wouldn't take too much notice of previous best times on that route - a mix of Bkool times and times from racing in a good draft (or both!) I suspect - can be quite different to a solo TT effort.

Looks like you were pretty consistent over the three laps and didn't lose too much time each lap. It's on races like this I wish you could see a live average watts figure to help manage the effort.

Also, glad to see my instructions worked OK for you!
Should have let him go round for 4 laps :whistle: :biggrin:

You're right, I should have kept quiet about that!

Your instructions worked spot on thanks
Never like going first as it gives you all a time to beat - and you little tinkers always seem to find that little bit extra !! :laugh:- only good thing about a flat course is you can sort of control effort a bit more than up and down courses - just hope you don’t dig too deep - have a race up alpe first !

If you fly by me i am offically doing a "recce" as well :surrender:
To make sure you don’t blow up , I should ride first lap at no more than 150 watts - that goes for everybody else as well
Horrific course full of danger and potholes
