Everyone on #23 pushed to their limit last night. Pretty tough all round. Everyone gave it everything. Last few miles it was down to four and the radio went a bit quiet!
can’t remember did we come 6th or 7th?
One ahead of team
@Del C I believe.
Yeah one ahead of us.
I got dropped around half way. I think just down to a bit of tiredness and a loss of concentration. I was in the group up Northumberland Avenue, St James and through the Underpass and then got gapped through the set of bends that follow the Underpass! I was 1 second back for a long time but just couldn’t close the gap.
We had 3 strong B riders and then 3 mid to low B riders so it was hard to keep together. We lost another in Richmond Park but managed to get 4 home.
A bit annoying for me as I continued to ride pretty well after I’d recovered. Base fitness is good. Just couldn’t quite hold the wheel at a critical point, although I felt a bit better when I heard one of our guys sat he’d hit a new FTP of 290w! My 20 minute power was 3.6w/kg so not too bad really.
