Nice weekend for Joaquin, winning cannibal at Long Meadow and taking 3rd in Tokeneke 3s.
Was there or wasn’t there a break that stuck in the 4’s?
Yes on Saturday. 6 off the front. Clerico dropped them and soloed to the win. Rest of the break stayed away.
No on Sunday.
Yes, there was a breakaway. They were working together very well from the look of it, building up their lead every lap. I didn’t see the end of the race, but the last time they passed me, they had over a minute and rolled smoothly thru the last KOM in single file, no one playing any games, all business. I noticed Chris Forsythe and Wei Chen in the move; Jaime Garcia was up there too, tires perfectly matched to his frame, style AND substance.
