From the FB video earlier today (at "Sheetz", with the drony American accent) it was tiredness, he had stopped and simply started out again the wrong way, it was only when he bumped into Lael coming towards him that he realised he'd done it.

Hazard of the job, I guess. He must be really tired as he's normally faster than her on the road so he should have been able to drop her. But tiredness + being pretty demoralised, leading for two weeks and throwing it away, clearly meant he couldn't!

I'm reading the RAAM book (Hell on Two Wheels) and it goes into the mind games a bit.

Jure Robic DNFd with 50mi to go because they felt the time penalties they'd been given were unfair. Baloh lost motivation when he was passed by 4th place rider and slumped after that. Lots of mind games. Amazing how you can be crushed when someone you don't expect catches you.

I like to do that to people in TTs

"What, but you had 8 pints at the pub, you, but wait, what? You race?! How did, what the"
