Exactly. I'm with Adam Blythe on that one, very 'sus' as the kids say.

Me too. Even if he had a flat he should have rode on as long as he could - that decision to stop could well have cost him the Vuelta. Looks like they have amended the GC and he's now back in red - I think balls to that - Primoz should be wearing that jersey tonight.

Unless they cancel it again of course. What a joke. It seems like such a badly run company from the customer point of view, doesn’t it!

How'd the CCC race go? At @bridgy and @<Tommy> the dirt league?
We reckon we've just been pipped into second despite a great TT from Rich. A last minute ringer and an amazing performance from the guy who raced 4 times in one day and got the exact highest level of watts not to be upgraded in his 1st TT and then the exact limit of watts not to be DQ'd (to 0.01 watts). Them's the breaks mind you, we had some people only added for last couple of races. Saw someone In the chat say someone had gained 8kg in one day but think that might have been the c race lol.
Personally disappointed. First FTS sprint I massively timed it wrong and totally cooked myself for only 3rd (power numbers were high enough for 1st for short term sprint which came out of nowhere). Was a Zombie for the rest of both races and longer term power numbers dreadful, mad strategy which cost the team points overall. That's racing though

Went OK thanks Michael- think our team may have come 2nd overall too but it's REALLY close so will have to wait for official results.
First race I ignored the two sprints, but got 2nd FTS on Libby Hill (with a new PR of 1:07), and 8th FAL on 23rd Street, and then 4th on the line. Came 3rd overall including segment points.
For the TT I was then 🥴 - like most people I guess! But my power was actually ok and if I'd done much more I'd have got myself upgraded to Cat A just before ZRL starts, so no complaints - came 13th.
Well done to you and Rich - and Tommy in my team of course. Good fun series and great prep for ZRL
We had a good session ... team strong across the board.
My fitness still not there ... had a great first sprint. Second sprint not too bad .... dead for rest of race, just couldn't recover like I could before. Definitely been a good test though of where we are as a team. Should be a fun season, and will hopefully get my fitness back as the season goes on.

I’m pretty out of shape to be honest. Not feeling very strong and the cardio isn’t really there either. Last night wasn’t really a good marker though as I had a pretty long day at work so I was just tired generally. I’m feeling fairly philosophical though. I’ve not been training much so I can’t grumble. Hopefully that changes as the season goes on. And at least it means it’s unlikely I get promoted next week in the first race.
@nridgy is flying though! Or at least raring yo take off! I didn’t realise how well you’d done Paul until I just read your report. Seems like you’ve mastered Libby hill mate.

Circadian rhythms.
You'll feel better soon
Our CCC event was very interesting. I had low personal expectations being so heavy legged from the gym and had a very late tea just before the event. First two sprints I was very sluggish, couldn't get the legs to spin. 3rd sprint I came alive and sailed through a thousand Watts. I then was able to muster a fair sprint for the others. I then had something left for Libby hill with near personal best.
Legs are still sore today
Only one week to ZRL
