Lachy probably figured there's a chance of that happening and rolled the dice. Sounds like Matt was ill though. But yeah it seems the group played a strategy they would focus on hurting Matt and Keaton most.. this is racing BuffsVintageBikes and El Duderino 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbr Posted June 3 Share There wasn't a lot of rolling through.... Maybe I did a little bit too much work. Yep, explains the outcome better than the "high volume" week, which actually sounds massive for us, but seemed common for him in one of the interviews he gave recently on someone's podcast (pre-epic prep if I remember correctly) Prince Albert Cycles, DieselnDust, justinafrika and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lachy probably figured there's a chance of that happening and rolled the dice. I think people forget Unbound is also 200 miles which is around 320km. It’s double what I would say is considered the norm for a gravel race. It’s an absolute beast of a race. Lachlan has so much more experience than everyone else when you look at everything hes done. A race this distance is so much more than physical. It’s mental and it’s also about nutrition and he hes got so much experience fueling for these distances. I don’t think people actually realise how difficult it is to continually eat for 9 hours. Your gut takes an absolute beating. nonky, Vishal72, peetwindhoek and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffsVintageBikes Posted June 3 Share Yeah, I see one of the riders in that interview commented on the riding being "negative" so I'm assuming they marked each other out of the game, hence Matt working too much. Lachy's interview at the end had me chuckling... "Did you ride with a power meter?" Lachy... "What was I gonna do with that?" 🤣🤣 What a biscuit 😄 splat, Gruffalo, Bankie99 and 4 others 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
