Race 16 Gravesend Cyclopark

Lost confidence in the corners and deliberately let some wheels go.

This circuit is so difficult for me as there are a lot of hard turns which puts me at a disadvantage with my cornering, the peloton always sprints out of them so I have to make an extra effort to make up the ground i let go, I often felt uncomfortable being on the inside of the peloton. I started at the front of the group and plumeted all the way to the back, I had to make constant accelerations on and off all the way round, I got dropped but managed to work with a Dulwich Paragon rider who was dropped earlier, I sprinted with him for 2 laps to go then we both pulled out.

Perhaps if had been more confident and stayed up the front I could have stayed in, when we were lapped we had to actually slow down to let the group pass, maybe a little bit longer and they would have reduced the intensity to a bearable level.
