    Not going to lie I was a bit relieved when will went in the break, I just had to ride the front just fast enough to not let them lap. (I’m Simon’s teammate)

    Those who didn't get a proper warm-up would have been kicking themselves. Poor legs!

    If lapped riders don't get pulled and you actually wanted to just support your team mate you wouldn't be going for a lap, you would just sit fresh and support for a leadout. Be honest you were all about going for the 7th place! 😉

    This was my A race, at Cat4.
    Crashed three weeks before. Barely healed physically in time, but absolutely lost the edge mentally. Couldn’t get comfortable in the pack. Tried to ride for a teammate a few hours later in the Cat 3, and had nothing.
    I’ve ridden gravel roads that are smoother than that long down hill.

      10 speed 11-22. The goal is to minimize the spacing between cogs. Works great for flat 4 corner crits. Hurts a bit more with courses like these
