Cheers for sorting that @Del C @bridgy,
well done all really enjoyed that

Thanks for sorting that was excellent 👍🏻

Well the results are in.

And the C (Green) team beat the D (Blue) team.

By a single second.

(or at least that's the gap at the Watopia start banner; would have been more at the blue finish line)

Bloody hell that was close!

Well done to @Marino.g @Ketty and @Aleman for showing what us D's are made of!

Great effort all!!

 

[Joffey]

How odd! I got stuck at 257 watts for the first climb. Got dropped. End of race! Any idea why that happened anyone?



Thankfully @Marino.g, @Aleman, @steverob & @Ketty did the business and nearly took the win. Well ridden lads

Carl, you can crow now

C’s were always going to do well with a sandbagger in the mix

Yep ..... that finish was as tight as a gnat's chuff

Very well done the C’s. Kipster was counting you down as we tried to catch you to no avail.it wasn’t for want of trying. Great effort B’s - so close but we all gave all we had. Perhaps if a few of us hadn’t raced hard last night 🤔😁
Some cracking times on the figure of 8 course;

Literally seconds between us and D. B must have been pretty close too as they seemed to be at around 20 seconds behind coming into the home straight. Didn't see A .... how close were you guys in the end?

I genuinely thought the d's were home and dry until maybe 500m from home. Bloody made us work for that. So much more satisfying than an individual race.

Great team effort C team! I think we were lucky the 6 of us were so closely matched. Did any other groups catch anyone?

@Del C @bridgy thanks for organising.

 

[steverob]

You want to see how close the finish was?

Obviously this lacks mine and Joffey's commentary over Discord, yelling time gaps and encouragement to our colleagues, but you get the idea.

Boy that was tough.... for some reason I thought there’d be more climbing than that. we picked up a few stragglers but couldn’t make a big enough dent into the time to get a real sniff.

No doubt everyone was on full tilt 😄 so well done all! 👍👍

And the C’s won? Mucho kudos amigos!! 💪💪

No I dont think so, I could see B closing in but were too far behind with not enough road or hills left to use W/kg advantage

 

[steverob]

I think we did bloody well considering we were only a team of five. Then we were down to four at the first climb due to Joffey's mechanical and down to the minimum of three at the second climb because my lardy arse ran out of steam! The C's still had four men going in to that final sprint, so the numbers game played its part.

Pick a flatter course next time and we might just be able to hold on...
