I was on the sidelines watching this unfold and I thought the lone rider could have easily dropped their weakest member with this move. One of the 3 was really struggling on the start/finish part of the course.
If he managed to drop 1 then your situation would be better. A 2 man break would have been hard to maintain on this course so the other team would have needed you at that point. Right?
I really don't know what the other teams were thinking. They pack actually sat up and stopped chasing about 2 laps into the break. The team with the 1 rider had 5-6 other riders in the pack so maybe they didn't want to chase. But everyone else? Maybe it was too hot?
