After doing 7 laps of that course on Sunday
3 laps was about perfect, I don't know how I'd fair with a few extra laps
After doing 7 laps of that course on Sunday
Isn't it odd how when you sometimes feel a bit crap, some of best results pop up
I was feeling a bit flat partly from Tuesday 2hour ride which really took it out of me and being fasted from yesterday
So I decided to glucose loads whilst warming up, drank 500 mil water 85 grams of castor sugar.
Boom 💥💥💥
Felt strong, held good position each time up to the Arc.
1000W sprint reappeared
Came third in the race, promotion to 🥈

ZZ top really worked a treat too![]()
Are you still in the new dirt B squad Alex? Those guys are very powerful

The guy who won is a monster, winning races all over the place.
His ranking of less than 100 points, that's over 100 points better than me and makes Carl's ranking look a bit pah!

He must be right on the cusp of moving up into B - I'd be surprised if he isn't CE'd up soon. Looking at his race history, he's evidently quite capable of putting out a 20min 300W+ effort, but just doesn't need to, so he hasn't done it since the summer of '21, even in the time when he was riding as a B. Archetypal cruiser. To give him his dues, he does still race 'up' in B from time to time (often in <20min events, though!).
Did tour of watopia stage 4 yesterday ,dust in the wind circuit . Felt I really raced it well ,hung on to the front over the rollers to titans and let the fast riders go over Titans then was always in a small group picking up riders dropping riders ,coming out the jungle was in a group of 8 which splintered up the climb ,I sprinted back on to the lead 3 as we crested the tarmac climb after you come out of the jungle and we rode together to the finish putting over a minute in to the group behind so the sprint to join was vital . Out sprinted 2 of the 4 for 28th on zp . Think the other riders were B cat so happy with performance . Felt I burnt my matches when required
It's an auto swap in tow to a MTBSounds great. Did you bike swap for the Jungle?

Still more aero than a dinosaur suitHow revolting!I think I did one of the shorter ones in jungle week and had that as well. They're good for the downhill bit, but if you're doing the climb as well, gravel is meant to be better overall. Same for everyone though, I guess.
What event you doing Andy
