I can’t see that. Ineos still have 2 team leaders in GT & Bernal. They have the fire power to shut down attacks & dictate the pace still without Froomedog.

Well, time will tell

I feel a panto moment coming on

O no we weren’t

No prizes for guessing which characters you’d play

It's Ok Lee, I'll be there if you need a wheel

 

[peterob]

Didn't get the chance to do the stage earlier. Hope you're all enjoying it now as I type

Will probably do it tomorrow afternoon now.

Well had a sore throat all day. Dropped my chain twice on them silly steep climbs. Didn’t matter any way I was always going to blow up today.
That course is horrible. It’s worse than hell. If I was feeling as good as Sean Kelly I’d have struggled trying to stay with you two guys.

I thought you were doing really well for most of it considering you're under the weather - one nasty hill too many though I guess?!

Good ride though everyone - the segment we can use is "LAMONT CHAMPIONSHIP 2019"(not the similarly named one with everything bagel in the name) - results from today for the league @peterob :

Believe it or not I’ve never rode that course before. Really struggled cheers @Whorty for dragging me home.

Good riding everyone, didn’t like the course much , don’t ride on the New York course much . Found it tough , at one point I was out of the saddle going down a 5% hill trying to push 230 watts, don’t know if it’s me or the trainer .

 

[berty bassett]

i'm not too keen on that course either , too many quick changes . was hoping we would all split up early to sort of nullify sprints -- well that didnt go to plan did it good work out though

 

[Del C]

It's a nasty course but I think that makes it a good workout.

The flat parts actually roll quite bit and the climbs are sharp and keep going maybe a bit more than you'd like.

I know what @Alongo means about pushing downhill. Its even tougher trying to push on the descent when you've just come up a 15% climb!

I thought you dragged me home

Everything that could go wrong did go wrong.

• Legs like lead
• Chest burning
• HRM lost power, which always impacts the NEO connection beforehand so I can only push about 185 watts. Pushing like mad but going nowhere!
• Then lost connection completely so had to stop and go to connections and de select the HRM
• Remembered then that I was at about 25% reality, so stopped again to switch to 100% (which I prefer when climbing)

That's when Brendan joined me. I was so buggered by then all I could do was hang on to his wheel and try to punch over any lump.

Saying all that though I did get some PBs. 2nd best time on the first KoM (8 seconds short on my PB). 2nd KoM I was a minute down on my PB but I wasn't pushing there and had already decided to stay with Brendan so still not too bad.

May have to do that again over the weekend if feeling a bit better

I had trainer difficulty set to 75% & it was torture. Last 5 miles went on forever, just closed my eyes up the hills.

I was thinking you haven't been quite at the level you were a few weeks back - had assumed you were tired from real world rides or something. Do you think it might be your trainer though? Which trainer do you have?
