sorry, just busting on ya, but i couldn't let that one go.
It was a good result because the winning group was 11 guys and we had 5 guys in it.
It was a shame we didn't win or podium, but overall a great race for us.
And we didn't "have" him pull. He just did it. He's a MTB guy that occasionally comes out to embarrass us full time roadies.
The guy that got 5th also got a top 10 in the race immediately following this one. (And podiumed the day prior.)
The other three guys in the group were able to hang with the group but not strong enough to attack/sprint for a result.
I wasn't able to say with that group and finished in the group behind, one lap down. I (and another two teammates) had raced the day before.
