I thought it was a really good course, the only part that I didn’t like was the zigzag section, it was a bit excessive. That middle section of the lap, from the left turn into the bomb hole to the stairs was great, really testing of your technique and decision making. I got it very wrong on the second lap, but nailed it on the third and fourth laps. Shame I didn’t quite go fast enough to do a fifth lap.

I enjoyed the challenge of the zigzags, it was really difficult without pre riding the course to figure out the grip levels. They definitely crammed a lot into that part of the course. The rest of the lap turned into a very slippery recovery ride. The heckling/support in the bomb hole was great. Apart from a bit of a di2 mechanical which cost me a couple of mins on the camber section l didn't have any dramas . I've also had my first ride of the year in mud so I've no more excuses for the rest of the season
It did mean it took me 3 laps to figure out the grip levels, I was a long way back before I got used to the slidyness ....I enjoyed the bomb hole that was cool
