Prix De Valempoulieres

Ok so this race was the 5th round of the jura series, which meant that all the usual teams would be there.

We drove a lap before the race started and it looked like a good course for me with open straights and a few rolling hills in the mix.

I rode the race pretty aggressively because i was feeling good. So as a consequence made all the breaks. the main break got away with 3 laps to go in the 7 lap race. But the only problem was the one of the big teams ACB had 7 riders in the front group and we only had myself and JB which made things very hard and to make things worse the other guys not from Acb where looking for a free ride to the finish. I set about breaking the group up but it was near impossible because Acb would pounce on any move.

So on the last lap attacks went down and a group of 4 got away then i tried to bridge with everyone on my wheel (bloody frustrating) after that i pulled a group of 4 off the front. but 3 where Acb so they where pissing around. On the main climb one guy jumped me then the other 2 did as well!! but i caught them through the rollers and then they just sat on me and jumped at the finish.

Really angry out there today because felt good but just so hard with that many of one team in the move. Finished 8th. so i will be moving up in the series hopefully.

Thats about it, got a decent tour coming up next weekend so until then.

Ciao
