I'd like to think it was my final pull that made all the difference

It's what us Cs have to learn .... how to jump on the wheel of a fast group coming throughI thought you were going to pull the A group at one point @Whorty - you were putting down some good power to stay in the group then came through with a power up?!

Yeah, good work @Whorty , thought it was Greg Lemond in his Zwift Superman jersey at first 😂I thought you were going to pull the A group at one point @Whorty - you were putting down some good power to stay in the group then came through with a power up?!

It was about 50 metres in front of the proper finish line, so not far off at all.
I was in front so obviously couldn't really see what was going on behind
But what I can say is Tommy definitely came in directly behind me as I did see him appear at the end. Can't believe I won a sprint- has to be a first! I went quite early- about 700 metres I think, and just tried to hold on to the line - a bit worrying when you're completely tying up and you see everyone's numbers behind you go orange!
Thanks @IrishAl and @<Tommy> for organising- was a great event, let's do it again soon
I think c’s getting another 30seconds is great idea
That would be niceI think c’s getting another 30seconds is great idea
I think we had the smallest group last night, with a couple of technical issues, so we were always going to get caught but then it's judging the effort before the catch to ensure we have enough left in the tank to hang on (not dissimilar to a H&H race). Personally, after I helped Steve get back to Joffey, i could have sat up and waited for B and sat with them to reach you but I didn't think that was the right thing to do hence why I burnt a lot of matches to try and ride with you a bit more - not that I helped you much but hopefully a moral-boost ride

G is doing the Giro instead.
Good luck for the TT tonight - hope it's a bit drier by then where you are!Judging by the number of posts - last night's race was a big success!
No real surprise from the form of both in the Dauphine. Looking at a photo from my mate in Tenerife with G, he looked heavier than when he won in 2018.- no good for mountains when 2-3 kg can be difference between winning.
Just look at sprinters, they are 5 kg or si heavier than GC riders, but get blown away on mountain stages.
Chris Froome, obviously still recovering from near career ending accident. There is hope though look at Van Aert after a period of rehabilitation. Strada Bianchi, Milan San Remo winner this year and first stage Dauphine
Yes the technical issues cost us another lap as a group which meant greater efforts all round.That would be nice
