I thought I spotted a name flashby 
I tried to go with the lead packs but realized, this was foolhardy. I eased just a little to find the next chasing pack.
I stayed with them until the hill. I slipped back and was able to grab the next pack and repeat. Only the last lap I had to work with fellow riders to form a group.
Tough, yes, maximum effort was after the climb on the descent to the finish line where the pack really picked up pace.

Lucky. You must have ridden very well in the double-draft as you beat me by a minute with 0.4 lower W/kg
I found myself "not in the draft" for longer than I would have liked. I also probably trashed myself on lap 1 trying to stay with my initial group.
Learning a bit more each "race". Was also "devastated" on lap 3 or 4 to get 10xp instead of a powerup. I've learnt to use those for a short 'rest' or to get back near the front of the pack when you're slipping back.
W/kg count for far less on a flat course. Its pure Watts that count. The hill fortunately wasnt long enough to offset my flat speed against your superior W/kgYou must have ridden very well in the double-draft as you beat me by a minute with 0.4 lower W/kg
If you've both then just look at Tommy and Lee blasting away
For 3 laps I got nothing on power ups.

I made the schoolboy error of joining the pen with 30 seconds so was well back in the pen. Thankfully I was able to work my way up and got into a decent size group around 70-80th place and managed to hold it. I had no intention of riding hard this evening after 4 hours driving today 😴 but turned into a decent outing at FTP. I’m not liking this green colour 😬

Trouble is team CCC will be depleted if Al has a couple more results like thatNot another one...
I think I've captured everyone's stage 3 times but let me know if I've missed anyone.
