The flip side of days like today are days when all the cogs mesh and the team delivers. If g didn't love racing, he wouldn't do it 50-60 times a season. I'm also not sure any team on this level is consistently more reliable and cohesive more than ours. We have our days. g is certainly the fastest guy in that peloton, but there are some serious Human Lungs that attack in those races, and g won't make every break. We have solid VO2 Max firepower on our squad, we should have enough to bring a 3 man 20 second break back into line. I'd be frustrated with a day like today if I were him too.
Fair enough.
Granted, I am not saying this should be a group hug every weekend, by any stretch. But, a teammate, a co-worker, anyone, keeps dumping on me enough, they would soon be alone more often than not. Attempting to get the dynamics of all this racing stuff, in hopes of someday understanding it enough to give it another shot. I hope I am not overstepping.
