After a week of rest and recovery it was time for another race which i wasnt really looking forward to much as such a long season is taking its toll on me and im feeling a bit burnt out.
The race was cat 1 with alot of good teams there and was raced over a 3 lap course which had 2 climbs and then a smaller lap which went over a steep 7km hill. for the first 2 laps i wasnt up to much just making sure i didnt miss any serious moves, about a group of 20 odd got up the road and on the third lap i managed to get into a group with most of the top guys on one of the hills and we bridged to the front group.
as soon as we got to the last climb of the race there were attacks right at the bottom and i wasnt very well positioned so i didnt get into the front group and the rest of the group was split up all over the road. i stayed with what was the 2nd group for most of the climb but just lost contact near the top of the hill and ended up finishing 22nd i think. I was pretty pleased with my race after having a week off and feeling pretty burnt out.
Only 2 races left for the season and are both in italy and the last one is piccolo giro di lombardia so a pretty big race http://www.piccologirodilombardia.it/Prj/Hom.asp
