[quote="Tony"]So what's the plan for tomorrow's race then chaps? Whose going to win it for the Addiscombe?
I'm not close enough to the scene to know for sure whose strong and whose not these days - plus it's the start of the season in any case. However, the pre-entry list has at least three former elite riders on it. One was never a very aggressive rider and liked to sit in for the sprint finish (and was probably not a real elite IMHO), one also has a lot of MTB / cyclo cross experience and was a solid elite and one we already know about who was also a very good rider - albeit quite a few years ago. Of course, there's also the stronger local riders whom we all know to keep an eye on too.
If someone has some semblance of a plan for the race and feels it would help if I spilt the beans, then by all means PM me! Otherwise my knowledge will remain safe from any preying eyes. However, no plan, then my lips remain sealed!
Enjoy the race. See many of you at some point tomorrow.
Er Tony if you know there are three former Elites you should name them. Ben Wilson et al. That Phil Watkins is pretty strong and there a certain newbie 2nd cat I might keep my eye on coz he probably knows who the big dawgs are
I think the plan is to make sure we have one of our stronger riders (George, Sylv, Marek or Stu) in the decisive break assuming there is one. I'm not sure who our best sprinter is if it comes down to bunch sprint but since I can't sprint I'll happily lead someone out assuming I'm still in reasonable shape
