Is a Sub-3 really a Sub-3 . . . .

If you spend 94km hiding in a bunch?

Is a win a win if you pass someone on the last corner in the MotoGP of Formula 1?

My sub 3 is a genuine sub 3 because I could not stay with the bunch

A sub 3 is a sub 3, however feels better if the race is over 105km and at least 1000m of climbing. Ave speed would be 35km/h and above.

94 had over 1100 m ascent.

Does the same apply to a sub 4?

If you think bunch riding is too easy ride with a faster bunch. Simple really.

Our club had times from 2:08 to 2:59 coming in under three hours and all suffered.

Once you are riding faster groups sub three isn't as portant as how fast you go.

The only race ride where a sub three means anything is the Argus, if you can hang with the bunch over the climbs then you have earned it.

100m for 11km, flat ride into the finish.

So a sub3 94.7 is the same as a Argus sub3?

[shaper]

being in a bunch is part of the rules of cycling, so a sub 3 is a sub 3 whichever way you look at it.

No, you can + 10-15 min for the Argus

No way argus is on average 25 minutes slower. Even for the winners.

But 94 has more climbing than you think.

Also feels better when you don't fall in front of the bunch
