The start looks very intense - rollers right out the gate for ~4k, sprint at ~7k, aqueduct at ~11k and another sprint at ~13k. Once you survive that there's over 10k of flat and then again sprint, rollers, sprint, KOM and finishLots of flat. A few rollers at the start. One short sprinty climb (done twice) and three sprints (one is repeated).
I did the climb in 32s so it's about a third of Titan's

I've got my chart if you want it? in km, so no use for the dinosaurs
I'd written on it "~53 minutes" and I got 53:08 If the video finishes processing in time there's a recon vid for you as well

Looks like Alex and Bram already did their races. Me, Andy and Alan signed up for later.
Any more takers today? @bridgy, @mjd1988, @berty bassett, @Johnsop99?
Yeah, seen info about this series before. Doesn't look that interesting IMHO. More categories but all based on nothing more than 20 min power so nothing innovative. Ranking based on 30-day numbers rather than 90-day like the ZRL so arguably will be easier for sandbaggers to drop back in.

Not sure yet - will only be able to make the 7.30pm one but will see how I feel at the time

Here's this morning's 10am Flamme Rouge race from my POV...

Smashed all my segment PRs. Looking forward to seeing the results. Do they wait until all races are complete for that?

They'll probably start adding results from the first race (one you did) soon. But yeah, until all races are finished and results processed you don't really know how well you did. Last one is at 3am or something like that so usually takes them until around noon. It seems to depend on the number of FTS segments and this race has lots.
