SuperWeek Day Three
Better and Better
Stage 3 of super week was a typical stage. An early break as usual goes and most of us think this break will eventually come back. Not today. The good thing about the break was tmy dog Eric Saunders was in it and I was totally comfortable with that.
My legs today felt like a million bucks, I knew I would have a good day.
Eric rolled off the front early and stayed away the whole day. Jason Allan and I covered every move in the main field to make sure nothing else rolled away also collecting a few primes here and there. With 20 laps to go Eric group eventually lapped us and that meant game on for the McGuire boys to make sure we took care of Eric to get him to the line first.
With about 5 laps to go, Devon, Jason followed myself then Eric we were in good position to win the race. Crossing the line with 2 to go, Devon took a very manly one-lap pull at about 50+kph and dropped Jason off with one lap to go. As we came out the last corner to hear the bell, Jason drilled it harder than Devon and gapped me a bit because I wasn’t expecting the hard acceleration. Jason took me half way around the course and at this point I heard Eric yelling go…so I went and maybe a bit to hard. I accelerated to fast and that allowed Josh Goodwin from Team Monex to hop on my wheel. I got to the last corner first, looked back and saw Eric in about 5th position.
Danny Pate took the field sprint, winning the race with Eric taking 4th in the field sprint finishing second in the stage.
It was a good effort by the boys; it’s just too bad the Richmond native don’t have a sprint. I guess he has something to train for now because he is already extremely strong.
Till next time, ride it till the wheels fall off
