Thruxton Crits

Thruxton Crits

By Alex.

Steve’s legs were looking like a mixture of Froomies muscles and Cheryl Cole’s tan and were certainly working well giving him a bunch finish. With a lump of metal still holding his colar bone together it’s amazing to see him racing and still getting better and better.

The 3rd cat race had about 6 riders that were really pushing everything and were putting in plenty of attacks. We managed to get a break of 8 with most these guys in, but was surprised to see the main group pull it back in.

After this I just watched for any attacks and stayed out the wind (mega windy!!) Then on the final lap I made an attack with one other guy which held about a 100 yard gap all the way round. The guy I broke with dropped off on the drag up to the finish, I managed to dig deep and crossed the line 3rd with the bunch just behind me.

Need to practice riding in windy conditions. I find that I lose my posture and start flailing all over the place.
