I'd never heard of this Alex Richardson guy up to now, but it's pretty interesting learning about the back story. I enjoyed this quote of his about a race in early '19, no more than 3 years after he took up cycling:

As a rider you have an innate feeling, you can gauge whether the break is going to the line or whether it is a complete waste of time. That’s something you feel, and it comes through experience.
