This was my last race. I really wanted to get on the podium and I liked the course. Flat and fast. The last 3 races have had hills in them and they were wearing on me. We did 65 laps with a race time of about 1:45. It doesn't seem that long, but you just go numb after a while. I was surprisingly stronger than I expected. I attacked, covered, went with breaks, but in the end I missed the move that stayed away. It had 9 riders. I was dissapointed and worked and I just drifted towards the back and sat there for about 20 minutes. I had nothing left to contribute to bring it back. Once again, I had excellent position into the final turn. We came out of it and I went to wind it up and still got passed by about 20 riders. There is just no more top end. Oh well, the trip was a success, no crashes, Eric got a win and Patrick is hanging with the big guns. We'll see if I can have a repeat performance at Coalville like last year. I don't think so though, I feel more tired now than my final race last year.
