That is pretty long session, especially if it happens against your will.
How did the first ZRL race of the new season go for you guys in team CCC? Did you get promoted I can't remember?
The Splitters B team did get promoted (unfortunately Tommy got promoted too so we'll definitely miss him
) but we got off to a cracking start with second place tonight.

Carl and Alex gathering lots of points. I got some sprint points too- for once
come on B s lets have a report/video
Posted at the same time as you I think Andy!
I can't really give too much detail on everyone else's race but I know we had most of the team in the front group right to the bottom of the final climb.
Personally I had a good Aqueduc KOM - I seem to do well on those punchy climb/sprints. Used my starting at the back tactic and sprinted to 2nd FAL and got 1st FTS. Just survived the other sprints really but picked up a couple of points. Was dying at the end of the final climb but dug in and got 3rd overall- very happy with that considering I didn't feel too great and haven't really raced for ages!
Video on its way....

We were 4th on the night which is pretty good given we're in the top league with some of the highest ranking C riders. Top 3 teams have some monster sprinters, so as a team we'll never beat them, but lots of individual battles throughout the race.
Well done Splitters on 2nd ... that's fantastic given you were promoted too

That aquaduct kom segment was a masterclass, well done.
Sprint afterwards I timed well but the one after I messed up and was the accidental lead out for you and a few others.
I notice that you and Marino.g don't super-tuck on the descent- is there a reason for that? Is it just that you prefer to keep the legs spinning and are happy to give up a bit of speed for that?
If I supertuck, with my extra weight I fly off the front, then I will need to put in a short burst of power as the pack whizzes by.
I find more comfortable to soft pedal to actually make me slower and stay in the draft, so I don't need to put any sudden efforts in.
I will supertuck when its one on one racing, where I can see a chance to break the draft, but not a group.
Ah OK 👍
