So Fredrik didn't really score many points so that opens the BAR up for John and Bo who took a lot of points today. I took a good bit of points back on Fred and a few back on Wade so that helps me, although Bo and John are running away from me now. Hopefully the break I took will help me as the season wears on. However the next two races are big points and if Fredrik is riding well he is going to be tough to beat. His wife just had a baby so that could help or hurt him, you never know.
It was a field sprint - I was a little far near the front like fifth out of the 2nd turn. So no one was leading it out really and I had to walk that line between going too soon and going too late. Probably considering the form I had I did my best race. I timed it too late, got swarmed around, but passed about 6 people in the last 150 - 200 meters so perhaps waiting was a better idea for me today. Bo and John were head and shoulders above the rest and I was closing hard on 3rd place but ran out of real estate.
Mitch and Mike rode well today. Mike rode the best I've seen him do in a crit, and Mitch was looking alright too. It seemed like we really rode like a team, too, so I'm very happy for that.
After the race they handed out some cold water in little 12 ounce bottles. I squirted some on Steve Jones's face as I was cooling down and we all had a good laugh. Snicker :).
