Good race today. Finished up 2nd in a much better field. Fast course with a couple of drags that suited me.
Pace was fast from the start, I attacked from a bunch of about 10 riders at the end of the 1st lap, and only Raod Pro Roger Aiken stayed with me. We had about 10 second ending the first lap, and Roger upped the pace again, I was unable to respond!!!!
I then found myself on my own for the rest of the race, real hard as there was a 50km/hr head wind for a lot of the lap. Behind me @ 20 secs, a group of 5 riders worked together for the whole race. With 2 laps to go, Junior sensation Liam McGreevy attached a closed the gap to about 10 seconds. This promoted me to push again and regain my gap.
Roger was in a class of his own, finishing about 2 mins ahead……no chance! Ill be doing one more cross race before the nationals, and I feel a medal is defo on the cards.
