35 +3/4

I didn't attack from the whistle...because somebody else did. But I attacked right after. then recovered. then attacked again....and again...and again. and again. Then finally with 4 to go I got into a break with four of the strongest guys in the race and I thought for a brief second that my wet dream of being in the winning breakaway was going to come true. we were rotating, communicating...everything was good. But then the Squadra guy that was in the break just vanished and we couldnt hold it. and i was sad. I used my last gasp to haul back a counter from another team and i was toast after that.

Somewhere there I got a prime...a bottle of wine. my attacking and other teammate's attacks made others work and our strongest guy got to hangout and win the race.

3/4

Felt good. we had the omnium leader so i was helping to shepard him. we had guys in a big breakaway so it was mostly tranquillo for us. then people crashed for no reason on a straightaway (none from my team). I lost the taste after that. After the restart i stayed 20 meters behind the field. Teammates took 1st (the guy that won the 35+3/4) and 3rd (omnium leader) and I survived intact. hooray.
