Oh, I think he was disqualified, shortly after being commended for not giving up. He was still faster than me though.
It's going to be interesting to see what TT training does for me as a cyclist.

I'm hoping that TTing is going to make me faster, stronger and hopefully a bit quicker up the hills. Also, while the fixed is in TT mode over summer, I'm hoping that I'm going to recover some of my descending skills.
BTW, despite looking like a bug-eyed mentalist in that footage, Paul Kippax is a lovely bloke who fixes my bike from time to time.
