Yeah that was a tough double header final two rounds for DRS (well it was for me!) I went all-in on the TT with an aim to go sub 20 minutes - which I just managed and was good enough for 15th on the road - adjusted to 17th after segment points because I didn't even try on those. I was happy with that in the strong field we were racing in but unfortunately it took everything out of me and I didn't have the kick in my legs to stay with the pack when we hit the first proper segment in the second race. I hung less than 10 seconds off the back for AGES it seemed but couldn't close the gap so that was race over really - thankfully we did have 4 up in the front group including Bram.

Enjoyed the series overall - not much time to rest though as next round of ZRL starts very soon!

It was a strong field wasn't it. When I looked at the sprint results on zwiftpower I was confused as I could see the 1st placed guy but not me - then I realised he had out sprinted everyone on fts including the top categories! Beat me by a full second.

Second sprint he beat me by 2/1000s of a second and that was with me pootling along the rest whereas he was pushing out 4w/kg the rest of the time.

Happy to say that my DIRT team got first place overall in our league (Fusilli - Silver). Can't take any credit for it though as I was only able to take part in the first two rounds and in both of those I was the fifth rider from the team across the line and didn't score anything at the sprints, so I literally contributed nothing to the team's score!

Yeah it was - still fair I think, just lots of strong riders and teams with strength in depth.

Hollie has been upgraded to Emerald now I see!

I have a ZRL winners helmet back from CycleChat C when I rode just the last round in which you had almost won the league before that round I finished man 6 scored no points and Until recently proudly wore the helmet 😁
