Today he had the RR and was sitting in great position until the last turn where there was a crash that stopped him for 16 seconds..he hit the line toward the back of the pack. He was upset, but the upside on the race was he had some PR on his power profile. He rode a full 8 minutes at 6watts/kg 302 watts chasing a break and did that several times (5 minutes 282watts) trying to get one to stick. They all came back… After he finished the raced today, his rear derailleur hanger broke off and the entire thing fell off the bike. He’s lucky it didn’t happen in the race… It was bent from the crash in the crit... Overall a successful week/month of racing for him.  

We head back tomorrow morning for a dose of reality with school and work.
