[quote="Paul H"][quote="Grahame"]Indeed. As my coach (when I was a youth, many years ago) put it "the only time it is important to be at the front is as you cross the finishing line. Anything earlier than that is just showing off and wasting energy."
It was a handicap. Should Ghaleb have waited for the Elites to catchup and wait for the sprint?
How many races would Cancellara have won by following these tactics.
Agree, neither Ghaleb or me would have got points if we didn't work our ass off to stay away from the Cat 2/3 behind us
.... thus the reason I was annoyed with the two lads that passed me at the end, they did no work to keep us away and got the points
.. alas, that's racing
