What do you think the plan should be? Try to stick with Jason B and then try to outsprint him at the end? It’s gonna be fast for 25 miles
It all depends on how strong the group up front are. Last time myself and Tim managed to jump across to the lead group (which was basically all Bs and Cs) and held on for as long as we could. That for me only ended when we hit the hills, which is less of a concern this time around. I will certainly try that again, but can't guarantee I'll be able to - easy to miss a gap forming, plus hanging on doesn't always work.
I think your sprint is stronger than mine, so you may be better off staying with JB, saving as much energy as possible and trying to pinch the win on the line. If I don't make the front group, or get dropped from it, then I'll try and stay with JB's group as well (I'm assuming he won't be in the very front group cause he needs to manage his w/kg carefully).
Remember there's only one point difference between 1st and 2nd across the finish line, but it's a two point difference at the sprints, so we'll have to beat him every lap if we want to outscore him overall.
