VeloRacer Posted October 24, 2016 Share Shame feel sorry for the poor okes in A bunch who thought it was going to be a normal day at the office and a free ride. The bunch was shattered all over the place. Thanks I was one of them okes who got chewed up and spat out the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the other strong riders in your group would also have moved up. Beta is extremely low, last year it was 1.89 (but then they also adjusted the winners time by more) - I can never quite understand how that system works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
