Paul, Tommy and Ketty probably Ok to do that on the KoM but I'm pretty sure the rest of us are at best 3.7 w/kg for 20 mins so will always get dropped by those who can sustain 4.199 w/kg for 20 mins

For some reason, which I cant fathom-weight shaming
I've not been picked for next weeks Innsbruck

Innsbruck will be really fun. We have a good line up for that event in C and the 12-point lead means that there's practically zero pressure - as long as we finish, even dead last, we win the season. That said, we're really aiming to win that race.

You lucky bugger ... same as me, dropped like a brick! Can't say I'm too upset though
Wishful thinking on my part, max I could sustain would be 3.1 maybe 3.2 for 20mins currently.
The front runners will be right on the weight cat limit and riding within themselves by a little margin, which is what we want of the team to be in the lead pack over the top.
Not feeling it today in B cat Crit City. Dropped quite early, struggled to get legs going.
Had a one on one battle with a B back marker. I eventually got away from him when the lead pack lapped us.
I stayed just a bit longer with them giving me a 20yd gap. I then kept up a fair pace for 2 more laps whilst he chased me but couldn't catch up

did we ever get a team kit design ? or was it all a dream
Decided to test myself today joined a hotchillie hare and hounds event . Went with the group which was going to average 3.1w/kg for 36km . I knew this was beyond me so it was a case of how long I could hang on . Very tough mentally knowing ( thinking) your going to get dropped before you start . Anyway I hung on for 14km at which point I was on my own until 2 other dropped riders caught me and we rode together along with a couple of D Cats we caught and a B Cat who had been dropped by the group as they past us .Managed to match by best 20 min power at 2.7 and 5 min power at 2.9 . So glad I pushed myself to carry on it would have been so easy to quit when I got dropped

I did a 10-lap The Bell Lap race tonight - stuck with the pointy end reasonably comfortably, but I’d burnt all my matches by the last half-lap and didn’t feature in the sprint.

I did a leisure 30 min. ride in zone 2 Just spinning the legs before the bloody sportive... Was stupid enough to look up the hills on Street View today - definitely regret it now

I did 20 miles in the real world at zone 2. First proper evening ride of the year. Lovely! Doing a ton again on Saturday if the weather is OK
