Hi @Whorty I might join you and have a race tonight but I guess I might not be any good to you if I can’t hang on at the start as I presume it would be frantic.

Would be great to see you in the race @Marino.g The course is London and the start may not be as bad as normal and might settle down quickly as everyone will be waiting for the sprint, then the climb. That's what I'm hoping anyway Quite a big turnout so far in C so could be a very competitive race

👍 hopefully I’ll see you at some point 🏆

I’m planning on being there too @Marino.g so if at any point you lose touch with the leading group, you can always drop back and give me a tow instead!

I'm guaranteed 3rd as guys behind me can't get enough points in the last race to overtake me even if I didn't ride. I could maybe get 2nd, but very very unlikely to get 1st. I think I'll need to win both the sprint and the KoM to take top spot as both Brian and Peter will do well in the sprint and Peter should score well in the KoM. I'll go for it, but 3rd is what I'm expecting unless I somehow have a blinder!

It says forward sprint ... I assumed that was from Trafalger Sqr .... if this is correct then I'll have to go early and hard and hope I can hold on. Brian is a better sprinter than me, and he knows he only needs this and if he scores well he won't need to do much on the KoM so he can give his all. Peter just needs to mark me out the race!

Edit: looking at your link that shows the sprint coming from Constitution Hill, so a rising sprint .... might be slightly advantageous to me as it will slow down the fatties a smidge

Hopefully I'll have Tim (@Ketty ) as company else the IRL buys will swamp me

Hi mate! I’m in for tonight although legs are in bits after and 80mile ride to the coast over the moors yesterday!! See you in the pens, hang on then light it up on the climb is my plan. Top 10 is the target.

Does anyone know exactly how far in the sprint it?

Will do But I’ll probably be hanging on to your tail.

On the start line early everybody else in green. Is Cyclechat still green jerseys

 

[Marino.g]

Probably getting confused with Dbr races

The good;

Perfect lead out by @IrishAl for the first sprint with a CC 1-2 holding off the youngster with the 15w/kg sprint!

The bad;
Everything after that.

The ugly;
The prime we sprinted for isn't showing up on zwiftpower at the moment....

The good:

I was feeling fresh when I didn’t think I would and the course was perfect for me.

the Ugly:

trainer dropped out as we approached the sprint and took 90seconds to disconnect.
Race over.

thought let’s have it after that and did some turns on front of second group including @Marino.g and @steverob

then decided to smash up the climb for a bit of fun and knocked 3min of the Pb. Shame I wasn’t in the front group to support @Whorty

well done @Whorty on your final position 👏🏻💪🏻

I hope that sprint shows up, else, like you, I wasted a lot of energy on that I also had a crazy attack from the underpass (I set a new 15 and 30 second PB ) .... 2 of us got away but the B's pulled the group back on Embankment. I knew from then my race was done and the ciimb was going to hurt

And there they go while I frantically try to re pair, lost 1min 43seconds

The good;
The Cyclechat One-Two on the mall was executed to perfection. I tried a couple of attacks later on, getting maybe 4 seconds up the road after putting in 60 and 30second all out efforts but the group hunted me down. There’s no chance to escape out of a group doing 40+ kph ....just like in real life I guess 🥴

The bad;
Straight out the back as soon as the road headed up hill. I’d nothing left in the tank and any motivation to try and keep up was lying somewhere back on embankment.

The ugly;
Trundled up and finished 8 minutes off the leaders. Let’s hope the missing intermediate Points gets fixed though I won’t hold out much hope.

Feck Tim .... that is some shoot luck mate You looked really strong tonight and was easily dragging me back on the climb
