BVC Racing - AB again, I tried, but no results...



No results to speak of tonight. A few new A type riders showed up and we raced a combined A/B evening... So big field (17-19 starters) and fast...

First up was a 25 Lap Tempo Race. (2 points to first person across finish line each lap, 1 to second). So this went out very very very fast... After about 5 or 6 laps at 50 km/h... I got gapped at the back...  Tried my best to get back on but the main group was just motoring on... So I dropped out.

Next was a 4x10 Progress Points race (1 point for first in first sprint, 2 points for first in second etc etc). I tagged along at the back for the first two sprints. Then got gapped and had to bridge back to the front. Managed to stay with them. Going into the final sprint down to 6 riders, managed to get on Bruce Denis's wheel for the bell lap. But had to go over a lapped rider and that allowed 2-3 riders to get ahead in the sprint...

The last race was a 5x10 Points. Again tagged along at the back, again got gapped and bridged over... Managed to tag along for the ride until the end. Managed a 5th place in the final sprint...

All in all a very hard set of races... Fun but no cigar...
