Part of the problem was that there were a lot of solo riders in the peloton (including myself), so few people are willing to work to pull the break back effectively for other solo riders to take victory at the finish. If you have a team, then members of the team can work on the front of the pack, whilst others can hold pack and then go for glory.<br /><br />As far as points go, I think that today's result puts me on 35 points (as I get 4 points for 11th place). I need 200 to get to first as you know, so it's a way off yet, but I've got a fair few races booked in for later in the year.

Were any others riding as a team?<br />Points, I am following your drive to a) retain Cat 2 and b ) gain Cat 1 status. I know that (a) is now achieved but could you consider adding to race reports a current points status? eg 110/200 where 200 is the targetAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535645521271313239noreply@blogger.com
