points race: sprinting for points, chasing attacks, and feeling like a guy without a teammate as the group coalesced - me, and two sets of two teammates. i skipped pulls like a **** and surfed wheels into sprints, but had to chase some attacks. with 20 to go i rolled in 2nd, opting not to sprint, and then it started raining, the officials shot the ******, and declared the results final since 2/3rds of the race had been completed. and i came in second. and i had been one point down - had i known it was the final sprint i'd have sprinted and i'd have won.
second in my points race, second in the omnium. third place is you're fired.
