So did I.
Why are people content to sit in and sprint for 4th when there are 3 up the road????????

Perhaps they were too tired to chase them down
Today was my first race so I'm not the best person to comment as I cocked it up

Well, I was too tired to chase them down but it didn't stop me trying. Might as well finish 44th as finish 4th.
Anyway - back on topic. How did it go overall? Enjoy it?

I did enjoy it. I learned a lot. Firstly if you are following someones wheel if a gap open in front of them close it otherwise you'll get dropped with him. I chased way too hard to get back on and blew up.My silly looking GT

Yes, you have to sense when it's about to happen and close it immediately. Don't expect them to, because they won't.
Problems happen when you're 10 wheels behind the person who opened the gap. Then you just have to pray that the people immediately in front of you will start swapping off to shut it down.Jeff Jones
