  • More or less. I left earlier as I'm slower. He caught me on the climb about 3/4 way up. I kept on the gas. We then had a push over some bad terrain to cut across. He took that shortcut also from top of 15 to 16. It was raining ans blowing up at the top. I put my wet weather gear on at the top of sector 15 but he did the push is just Jersey. I caught him at the top of s16 which is a descent getting dressed up and looking cold. I was already dressed and hit the shitty descent then got to tarmac road ans stuck it in biggest gear (30x10 !) And TTd flat out to finish.

    Hes incredible strong. Speed I cant match.

  • Well done, really impressive. Great to see experience and good decision making beating raw speed.
    Sounds like putting on warm gear earlier was important? Always tempting to delay taking action in a tight spot, put off making the decision, but best to be decisive!

  • I think so. I am always meticulous about keeping my temperature correct. Even if it means wasting time putting gear on and off more than I wish.
