I started that on my own and felt like I got a decent start. Then half way I was really feeling it and power was dropping off so I got out of the saddle and near enough stayed that way until the end. It gave me a good boost. TBH I thought my strong ride in the second half would see me ok, but you just kept it going to the win. That was a great ride Adam and I somehow feel it just means more suffering for me in the future.
I did the full hour and a half out of the saddle. But could tell when you got up, you caught me from 40 odd seconds behind, in less than a minute. I had to knock it up a cog then, and that was tough. I thought I was already going at max pace...obviously not.
It was neat having the spectators, meant there was no giving up. Would have been an interesting one to do together, but I think you would have beaten me if it was live. You would have found 8 seconds from somewhere. I was trying for a bigger lead once I got past you, but couldn't pull away from you.
For the last 10-15 minutes, I had no idea who would win.
