Well done Peter, that start was mental! I quickly found myself in the grupetto. Luckily I was near the front of it when it split and just had to hang on best I could. Did beat two Danes in a fiecely contested sprint at the end though.
Yeah, I got a few at the end as well. They were very reluctant to pull our little group so I did my patented move: The premature finish ;)

Be scalping me soon :eek:
One day. But not soon, I think :notworthy:

Pete, another scalp I see 👏👏

Is it Steen next on the list? ;)
You bet. Was eyeing his Scandinavian bum tonight but no luck. There's always next time, eh @Brusgaard? :boxing:

I got dropped on the final climb even though pushing 6 w/kg ..... was bonkers. Could see the lead group 20 yards up the road, couldn't latch back on. :surrender:
6W/kg. Isnt that about 220 W;)

I once tried over 500W up the 'kugel snugel' and still couldn't get under a minute :ohmy:.


Wrongly built for hills 🏋️‍♂️🏋️‍♀️🏋️ :biggrin:

My 4 times up there tonight were 58, 58, 59, 1:00 and I still got dropped. I averaged over 420+ watts each time (5.6+ w/kg), and still couldn't hang on to a C group :wacko:

Carl just seen your 4 attempts up the LS. :okay: 430+W average.

I would need to do over 600W average to match those W/kg :ohmy:
And I still got dropped! Too many B's tonight pushing from the front, destroyed the race.

There was the odd attack off the front but no way they were outrunning the huge group. I had a dig myself just over the long drag bridge leading to the cobbles ... me and 3 or 4 others, but the pack easily swallowed us up.

Anyone else noticed that the scoreboard doesn't update after you have finished?
When I record races, I usually keep the scoreboard open and see it being updated as other riders finish. But this last 2 weeks or so, it no longer updates past the group I finish with. So, anyone finishing later (across cats) is not showing... :sad:
It was showing the B rider race when it popped up on my screen

That’s some watts up the LS. I looked up my best 1 min power and it’s coming it at 5.66wkg and that was a one off and not x4.

Anyone fancy a race tomorrow evening? 7:30/7:45ish

To be fair the rest of the circuit was a pootle as everyone realised that there was no point pushing hard as the group was 35+ in size and any attack off the front was easily chased down (I know, I tried with a couple of others, we had no chance!)

No racing for me today. Legs totally shot. Hoping they will be ok for Wednesday :B)
