Jamie, race the 'serious' races organised for juniors. Ride the shorter length races and act courteously and realise all the juniors are in the same boat. If Peter Sagan can be third after a lap in Rio, or whatever, you will find a way to pass. Practice a calm 'Coming passed whenever you can' , and never ever call me 'oom'. There will be revenge.
 

unfortunately there is only 1 PSagan. I don't think what he pulled off there is possible for 99,9999% of the cyclist out there

Indeed - I am shamed to admit it in front of Gen but that was one of my favourite sporting events of the last while while it lasted.

 

From what I have read on here, Jamie has an even greater skill and speed differential over the back markersthan Sagz had.

 

The point still stands though - a race for higher honours shouldn't have interference. Interference if unavoidable, will even out and if he is better than his competitors, will probably help him. Just bloody frustrating.

was very aware of this today at the Nissan Trailseeker in Hermanus. Did not have any problem getting out of the way of the youngsters. But did anyone hear from them how it went overall?

I was very aware of it as well on the single track at the start.. I was so glad when we hit the more open terrain after the water point at creation wine estate and they started to fly by.
