But I do think I will be more selective from now on in which moves to go with.richard westwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322130733351072204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995664468574501808.post-35615956400885721922013-06-06T04:47:15.216-07:002013-06-06T04:47:15.216-07:00Keep attacking.

The catch is, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It almost worked to perfection at Niagara and the fall back was your amazing 6th place. It's a shame more racers, especially from the bigger teams, aren't willing to try to animate the races. As with M3 it's very "negative" instead of creating breaks, it's all about chasing them down. This of course makes it more rewarding when a break finally sticks, and it will... eventually. As a team of two, it's nice to know your teammate is willing to work as hard (or harder) thank yourself, keep up the great work and think about Charlie when you mull over retirement ;)Phillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659187271980383817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995664468574501808.post-29252262969149565472013-06-05T23:49:12.580-07:002013-06-05T23:49:12.580-07:00Good report - and great plan (a little painful to ...Good report - and great plan (a little painful to read after). Had you<br />come I 'think' we would've been good.I / we were waiting for one of you<br />guys to make another attempt in the 2nd half (thought I gave you a<br />'lets go' look - but the window was closing). We thought you guys would be all over the CHCH bait.<br />I only needed a little help on the gradual climb into the wind<br />(Wind made it hard solo - started taking its toll; so opted too recover a bit there due to poor line of sight; then got 'sighted'), and was<br />discouraged that no small chase or bridge came; but a committed 2<br />could've done it. That one stretch was a two man operation with that number of laps to go unless the peloton blew - they could still carry too much<br />speed through there if they had too). If nothing else a harder/longer chase might have inflicted more damage (or allowed a counter to get away). Next time. I have no regrets.<br />Sprinting is fun and has its place; but attacks / breakaways and teamwork is what make it awesome (otherwise id save myself the drive from/to Sudbury and the entry fee to do town sign sprints every weekend; or would've stuck to tri's).<br />Keep attacking.<br />BryanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07497256752307060771noreply@blogger.com
