Kinda a re-post from 41, skipping fluff (maybe not).
I had never seen a hill climb race (and puppy has never done one) before this weekend. There is still confusion with the on-site officials and promoters how to score these. They say it is chip time, but after seeing one - it is a pretty good guess there will be photo finishes, there are just not enough of them yet.
Very cool races and quite different than a TT, or a RR with a hill - but it is more RR than TT. Simple. Line up and race the hill. It is just like what we see in the TdF without the 100 miles first. And the CO ones seem to lack O2. As reported by junior, they drop so and so, then becomes cat and mouse and so and so catches ... we've all seen it on TV.
This was not junior's best performance, but a good time anyway.
