Finished my first ever UCI race this weekend. 4 days of cross-winds, echelons and punctures. Think i spent more time chasing back on than actually riding in the peloton. 17th on GC and should have been higher - away in a group of 6 on the first stage, 1' ahead of the peloton when we got to a roundabout with 3km to go and there were no marshals. Went the wrong way and ended up being given the same time as the main group...
Otherwise had great fun and as a team we picked up an 8th and a 5th.
Absolutely mad racing but i loved it.
Getting away on stage 1. The guy in front is a Pro with a UK continental team, went on to win the overall
Stage 2 had an average speed on 46kph through the hills. Bit faster than anything i've ever done before
This fellow almost took out the peloton when he tried to run out in front of us...
More pics and a bit of a summary:
