You've got a better chance of winning if you are one of five or six at the front in the final 200m than if you let some bloke ride off on his own. Small group sprints at the end of a Monument are a lottery.TheBigBean said:<

Flipping Hatch - any chance you can turn down the hyperbole from 11?5

Hatch really over egging it.
WVA even managed to lose the sprint to Herman’s, who had obviously been hiding in the team car."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
