Results!

Goodwood E/1/2 17/5/11: 1st

Another win! Rolled through in the Elite group initially, following wheels and somehow found myself in a big break of 15 or so hardly realising it.  I kept rolling through gently and a few people get dropped. Stayed pretty steady and I resisted making a move knowing my sprint has been pretty strong recently so forcing other people to break it up.  All stayed together until about 2km to go then a group of 4 jumped away.  I jumped across to this group on my own and we had a gap of about 50metres.  They all rolled through and looked like slowing up a bit so when it was my turn to work on the front I jumped and crossed the line with a gap of about 300metres!  Couldn't believe the gap and how strong I felt, great result especially with some decent riders turning out.

Hove Park 2/3 20/5/11: 2nd

Thought I had this one wrapped up! Guess 3 wins in a fortnight might have been a bit excessive!  Sat on Euan Evan's wheel for first few laps but was keen to make a break with some pretty hairy handling from some of the riders.  Euan made a good jump and we were quickly in a group of 3.  Mike Coyle was pushing a massive gear and I had no idea how good he was and so was focused on making Euan work as much as possible.  Was feeling pretty comfortable.  Mike and I dropped Euan when we had to go on the grass round the circuit after lapping the field.  Mike then kicked and while I initially caught him, he pulled out a gap after I kept taking bad lines through the corners.  He held 10metres on me through the finish line.  Will definitely keep a closer eye on him next time!  Thanks very much to Mike and Claire Leonard who always organise such a friendly event.  So hungry for wins now though!

Next weekend I will be racing in Jersey after being selected to ride for the Surrey League team after my recent form.  Town Centre crit on the Sunday and Road Race on the Monday.  Its going to be epic!
