Kew crits breakaway next week?
Gags Wrote: I'm game if you are......reckon that it might be a good laugh if nothing else even though I will probably blow up after about 4 laps or so but it still could be fun!!! Maybe we could get a bit in front and then hide in the trees while the pack goes past and spend the rest of the race on the back as the field tries to catch up with us......hehehe. Or once you are almost cooked.. drop back and sit on the front to control the pace of C.. See if Ess can gain a full lap on the bunch.. Not that I would support such team tactics in crits* My quick calcs show it would take around 16-17 laps to lap the field if you kept putting 6-7secs a lap into C... *ok, maybe for people I know I would -- gplama |

The only problem I see with this is all the guys who sit at the start finish line and call out splits to their mates in C grade!!!! See you there. Gags hehe. When watchin A-B grade it sometimes dont 'pay' to tell the chasin group that they are goin backwards timewise, so sometimes you fudge the time difference to keep em keen OR tell em that they keep losin 5 secs/lap and they give up! -- flyingdutch |

I doubt I'll be out in front for 16 laps somehow. Must say though todays TT was good training holding off the bunch, concentrating on a steady tempo. For once I didn't blow up on that stretch, but I certainly wasn't taking 6-7 sec every 2 mins. 26 deg on Wed Gags, how did you want to play it? You think Dutchys idea for you to take the hill is better? -- essendon93 |

message ... Gags, how did you want to play it? You think Dutchys idea for you to take the hill is better? -- I reckon that there is not much assistance to be had for the first half of the hill in drafting anyway so maybe we could see who is in front on each lap and then swap positions say at the top of the hill and then after the rolling uphill rise on the corner nearest the city. It will be interesting to see if anyone decides to go with us from the start as there are generally a couple of guys each week who take off like a bull at a gate!!!! I will have to force myself to take it relatively easy on the way to and from work for the next couple of days!! Gags |

That's up there with booing when someone's taking a penalty kick at goal etc. Extremely bad sportsmanship. Speaking of bad crowd behaviour, at the last Hawthorn crit there was an older bloke on a tatty old MTB and a collingwood tracksuit top riding the wrong way around the track. This was obviously a bad idea, but the spectators at the top of the hill at the start/finish line proceeded not only to "request" that he move off the track but also to carry on with some rigourous abuse of the bloke, including ad hominen attacks on his choice of football team to support. They could have been a lot less abusive and got the bloke off the track without behaving like they did. I wasn't very impressed. |
