Had another elite national race this weekend. It was 160km on an undulating loop with a couple finishing circuits with some short steep climbs.
Felt pretty crap for the first hour or 2, but didn't have to do anything anyway as a break got away and the team had to guys in it and one of the bigger teams had nobody so they were chasing all day. I started to come right when we hit the finishing circuits. The pace really shot up and the peloton easily pulled in the break. So with about 40km to go it was attack after attack. My team mate Sebastien got away with another guy so behind we only had to cover the attacks.
On the last lap with about 15km to go I got away with 2 other guys and we bridged up to Sebastien at the front. about 5km later Jeremy from my team also got across with 2 others. We were holding about a 40second gap to the peloton and it looked like we were gunna stay away, until 5km to go everybody started pissing around playing cat and mouse so we ended up being caught by the peloton less 500m from the line. I ended up 25th in the end and team mate Alex got 2nd in the sprint. Bit annoying for me but felt strong again, just waiting for a result.
