Well that was tougher than I expected. As usual @keithaitch , your start was too vicious for me to latch on, although I do wonder if it would be worth putting in the effort to try and latch on then get a free ride to the next hill, where you'll drop me for sure.
Anyway, well done all for entering the Nations Cup Qualifying league. The ride we've just done, just a mere fraction of the "fun" :crazy: on actual race day. I'm guessing we might need some reserve riders so worth competing for places below the top 5.

That was great fun, when that youywere going to catch brus I knew the game was up, as did I suspect @Whorty from the road paint. When you both caught me y insert wanted to see how fresh you were but then I got 10 seconds and you dropped brus so I thought it was with giving it a go as I don't think he, on his own, would catch you if you trying to catch me lon your own. I was knackered at the end thought! Good news is I get a big beer for beating you, I think I may have stumbled on my motivation key!

Chain gang my arse... phew, you guys are fast.

I also had "Java update" appearing on the home straight... I'd like to claim 20 seconds back for getting off the bike to get rid of that, thanks. :-)

Really sorry to have missed that - my laptop is STILL updating! I spent over an hour riding while staring at a blue screen!

So what was the finishing order?

I'll have a go either tomorrow or Saturday, but watching you guys race tonight I don't fancy my chances much :cursing: Was fun watching you tussle with @Brusgaard and then dropping the competition :biggrin: (I'm assuming Brusgaard will be in the Danish team). As you say, Keith had a flier again :notworthy:

I did think once they caught you the three of you would work together until Brusgaard was dropped. I was surprised when you broke free so easily ... just shows how hard Bill and Brusgaard were working to reel you in!

Just couldn't keep with you 3 from the start, after that I was the top UK rider in the rest of the bunch so just kept going without going into the red.

Don't know where my form of 2/3 weeks ago went :sad:
I'll add your ghost when I ride that course but you looked strong so not sure if I'll be able to beat you. My best bet will be to try and push everything to stay with Bill from the off then hang on for dear life and hope that gives me a big enough lead ... but the lead 3 went off so fast it could back fire and I go into the red too early and just go POP!

From what I saw .....

Keith
Bill
Brusgaard
Aleman

(not sure who else was riding - I could see lots of blobs but the menu on the left showing rider names seems to have stopped working for me - only shows the first 5 riders!)
