Yeah brutal race - and 5 laps in Cat B for me and @mjd1988 was more than enough!
We both said beforehand we'd hold something back in the first laps because staying in the front group was the most important thing - and then raced to 1st & 3rd the first time up the KOM! Thankfully that didn't burn too many matches and we both avoided getting dropped - Michael finishing 3rd on the line and me 10th. Somehow I got 3rd FTS in the first sprint too, despite being in 22nd place over the sprint finish and getting gapped slightly! Must have had a good draft I guess!
In terms of points (as this was a points race after all) Michael got 3rd and I got 9th - I think we're both very happy with that considering it's a strong league we were in.
