Enjoyed last night's Amstel race. The last 19km was like a game of chess. We run our Tuesday night trainings like that. A few guys break away and everybody tries to real them in then a few more break away...normally only 3 left on the last lap and then it's cat and mouse. Not pulling strong enough to wear yourself out and making sure the group behind don't catch you either.
Of course we can't go as fast as the pros but this is the kind of racing we pretend we are doing.
The Russian (Ivanov?) had done this race 10 times and he thouroughly deserved a win.
I saw on the start list BBox Bouygues Telecom
31 Yukiya Arashiro (Jpn) and then realized my favorite Japanese team has disbanded...
I didn't see Yukiya in the race last night though. He came 2nd last out of those that finished but about 60 didn't finish. That's similar to how he rode in last year's Olympics. (He was the guy leading us around the Christmas Tokyo Enduro).
