The tyre makes a massive difference,
but I think I've discovered something else which effects the performance. I've recently started to wear my HRM again and this seems to have given me some fairy dust as well. Sounds impossible but with bkool it's probably quite possible.
You seemed to be doing a fair share on the front Bill. I didn't fancy my chances in a 3-way sprint with you and AAAC so thought I'd chance it from a couple of miles out and see if you two would be able to work together to bring me back or not. When I saw the gap between you I kept going and was able to maintain the lead!
More than a fair sprinkling of dust tonight.
I was watching the final time trial in the Tirreno Adriatico afterwards and that was a pan flat 10 km and we would have smashed them all 54.5 kph.
Other than that it was like a Stage 1 re-run with Fabian
@peterob just riding away from me like I was standing still.
I must admit that I did hesitate a bit again thinking that I could get
@BILL S to close the gap for me and that few seconds of indecision made the difference.
Before I knew it Fabian
@peterob was 7 seconds up the road which fluctuated between that and 9 seconds until the end.
I spent quite a bit at the back today and only forced the pace towards the end trying to make it difficult as you both seemed too comfortable.
That obviously didn't work 100% either.
I see you are Elite 10 now
@peterob, how did you swing that?
I need to average 480 Watts to go up to 5, I hate to think what 10 needs.
