Nocturne Crit Besançon

Myself and Matt where the only riders from Morteau doing this race because the other riders on the team have the regional champs on this weekend.

The race was a tight fast and technical course with a mix of cat 1 and cat 2 riders. So i knew it was going to be fast, i got good positioning from the get go but just didn't have the fresh legs to jump up the road. So a couple of decent sized groups got up the road. I was suffering with the intensity and the fact that i had eaten dinner to late. (pm crit started) so i just kept at the front lapping in the main group. The group in front got caught and my bunch was getting smaller every lap.

I ended up doing a heap of work on the front to keep good positioning, but wasn't the best idea when i few riders got away in the last 10 laps.

I ended up 13th which i was happy enough with considering everything. Would have liked to be fresher for the race because that circuit seemed to be my type of course with the sharp turns and punchy climbs.

Now time for a bit of a relaxing weekend then into some tours next week, Should be all good.

Ciao
