Tough question. Of course in TT's it's you against the watch, so you always have a reason to complete the race and see how fast (or slow) you rode that day. And Pcad's worst performance this year was DFL + 4 (in the disturbingly fast 45+ bunch, faster than the 4/5's), so I have that going for me.
Who cares what we think? It's what
you think that matters. This is a given: if you're out there racing at all, you're putting it on the line in a way that non-racers don't, and you should get some respect.
Should. This is bike racing and Road Nazis only respect sheer speed and results.
