This looks pretty good. 3 x CC in the top 10

7th and 4th look strong contenders to climb up the table

@Whorty so you are 8 points behind 2nd and 11 points ahead of 4th.

You average 7 points more per race than 2nd...so it's going to be close. Realistically we should maybe have a plan specifically for those two guys. Maybe depends what bikes they have as well- if they are on mtbs we could all set out on road bikes and just hammer it until the dirt and try and get some sort of gap going. High risk though. Realistically if you are on the same bikes as those guys I think you'll beat them anyway. It's an interesting one. I'm happy to do whatever. @Freelanderuk you are in a good position on GC as well

I need as many riders as possible between me and Fagerli to gain points on him, and I need as few riders as possible between me and Larsen. So be great if you, Chris, Andy and Tim could keep behind me, but ahead of Johnny Fagerli

I won't be able to hang on to Larsen to beat him with the Jungle climbing, but I need to just work hard enough to not let a whole group of riders to be between us - this was my main aim last night, hence why I couldn't risk a sprint last night in a group of 15.

Edit: could do with @Brendan Parker joining next week if possible too, to put an extra rider between me and Johnny

We will do the best we can to knock him off

With the weather (and especially my back room) getting hotter and hotter and my lockdown hair getting longer and longer, I have finally bitten the bullet and invested in something that might make my Zwifting a little more comfortable:

Wife says they make me look like a reject from an eighties fitness video, but anything that keeps the sweat off my face and the soaking wet hair out of my eyes is a welcome respite for me! Certainly could have done with one of these on last night, but the postie only just arrived with them this lunchtime.

I use a headband!! 80’s nostalgia!!

Road rash style. What a game that was for those who remember it

Yes I remember it - I seem to remember whipping riders with a chain to take glory

I would love to see a road rash or crash bandicoot style mode on a short circuit on Zwift 😄

Now we are talking. The chain was the best weapon. Would be fun to see it on Zwift if only as a charity event or something

Well I'll tell you what, if more than 36 people are on the start line and registered in ZP by Monday evening, then it's GAME ON! Otherwise, I'll stay happy with 3rd place!

On a similar note, I might be able to join you on Wednesday evening's DBR ride. If I can, I'll try and position myself between you and whoever is in 2nd in your league, as that'll give you even more of a points gap to extend your advantage. Especially as there's EIGHT Primes on offer on that course - you win most of those and your lead will grow exponentially.

That would be great Steve! I think it's just myself and Remi who are battling it out. 8 Primes? I need to make sure I win some of them. Where are they?

Agreed

Monument Avenue sprint (about 2.5 miles into lap), Broad Street sprint (about 4.5 miles), Libby Hill KOM (7.8 miles) and 23rd Street KOM (8.5 miles), then the same four again on the second lap (which is 10 miles long in total). For once, the sprints are before the climbs!

Any c's racing tonight? There's a small chance I could make it

Need to check with wife and see how she is later. I'll try to if I can but can't promise anything until closer to the time.

Any B’s fancy a race this evening?
