So did you get a free lap for the wheel change? If not how did you recatch? (no caravan obviously)

Race Sunday. Felt like utter crap. And it showed on the photo, red one on the left :-)
Tore off the timing chips 10 m from the finish and jumped the kerb to the parking lot...

Yes, I did get a free lap, but I had to ride on the flat (at 25 kph) to the finish line for the wheel. My friend's DT Swiss RWS skewer was a pain in the a$$ and I was some 100m behind the group when I was back on the bike. Worse thing is, the break formed when I was busy changing my wheel, when I was defenseless.

Thanks ultyguy. The race really was an eye-opener in some ways, time to work on the weaknesses.
On to the next one!

Can you post a good side shot of that Colnago?
Or is it posted elsewhere?
Do you have your position specs? I am thinking about a C60 and trying to educate myself as much as possible.
