    We’ll done on the race
    Here’s my two bob
    May not mean anything
    Some times it’s on good to chase wheels . don’t try and jump on every thing that goes flying pass if you slowly
    Chase the rider or riders . In Front you’re not going to smash your legs. I was in a race team for many years and quickly learned that not all riders are strong enough to stay away from. 20 other guys or some times girls .
    If you get in a break try and get the other riders to do roll and turns if they’re smart they know this better to do this than attack all the time .
    All the best with racing.

    Good ride man, Better positioning than last time, a bit too good towards the end!
    Good to see you on the drops in the wind.
    If close up on the wheels and keep position in the corners you will be there to contest sprint.
    Well done. 👏

      Cadence is a personal thing. You need a lot of miles in your legs to be comfortable with high cadence. You will feel what is best for you.
      Always a good idea to incorporate high cadence in training.

      @ have done high cadence for the last two years since getting back on the bike. I’ll see how dropping cadence feels. But it’s true… high cadence gives me nowhere to go when the speed suddenly goes sup

    I think it would be cool if jerseys had a sleeve section where you can just slide the number and swap them a bit easier

    Nat, I reckon your cadence is too high. On that downwind long straight, if you are spinning plus 100rpm you have no where to go when someone attacks, so are already on your limit gear wise, as well as aerobicallty.
    It also means you aren't recovering. I've seen it in both your last two race videos.
    Spinning that sort of cadence means you are on the limit the whole time. Push a bigger gear.

      Wooo that’s a good tip. Reckon down to 90 or under? Thanks for the observation!!!

      @@Velographer I reckon in the 90s gives you room to accelerate but gives you the benefit of spinning an easier gear.
