yesterday was the first road race of the season.. a 60 mile race.. the local strong guy attacked from the gun as the peloton let him go. 2-3-4 bridged up.. 4 miles into a 60 mile race, it was over.. the p1-2 race
these 4 stayed away..
20 years of watching the tour and other races, 99% of the time, the group gets caught..the teams without a man in the lead group organize and hammer, sacrificing their chance so their best sprinter has a shot once the break gets brought back.. i never see this in amature local racing.. how can 4 huys stay away from 20+ teams with strong riders? 80 man field.
its amature racing i guess.. no team, all i.. nobody wants to go to the front hammer then get shelled.. you always hearing guys say, after they had a bad race, they say, i worked for my teammate.. hahaha.. nobody works... these teams should have brought back those 4 .
are they thinking thats bob up there, and hes the best around.. with 3 helpers we'll never catch them? or dont they know how to organize? or, are they that selfish to hammer and get dropped bringing the break back?
they call it a p 1-2 race, but realistically, howmany 1's are there? the actual pros and cat 1's are on jelly belly and teams like that.. the numbers of their rank are not accurate at all. maybe most local 1's new someone to up grade them, cause actual 1's know how to organize and bring back a 4 man group.. illinois, tenn. ohio, ky, ks, mo neb. all have lots of cat 1's but they sure dont race like it..
happens all the time.. a very small break goes away and sticks.. unreal..
