In this circumstance I think he just didn't jump properly then didn't look over his shoulder as he dragged everyone over. The rider we were working for got 2nd from the break so the main aim was achieved, just not the secondary.
Coming from a team sport background I really enjoy working as a team, particularly the tactical aspects involved, it makes racing so much more interesting than just being out for yourself.

When I started racing there was a junior in my club who was better than me, and a very good climber, so we'd work together to set him up to contest for the win. After almost every race I'd get questions from other competitors as to why I'd helped him, and they would be incredulous when I said it was because he was better than me. In their view, I should have been using him as a foil to get my own results.
