The course consisted of undulations and one major climb, (long and red hillish). Vanessa was with the lead bunch until the last time up the climb where she lost 20 metres to the three that broke away. This 20 metres turned into 1 min 34 sec at the end when Vanessa crossed for 6th place. She was happy with her result and the racing klms as she prepares for the Glenn Inness to Inverell race.
Vanessa’s director sportif was unhappy with her time at the front wasting energy while other riders sat on and prepared for an attack. All part of the learning process.
Unfortunately for Aaron, his day ended in an ambulance. He was looking great and very comfortable within the bunch when we saw him. He hit a pot hole, hands slipped off the bars, result both wrists broken, grazing on his back & bum and damage to his bike, lever & derailleur. Aaron’s season was going great until now, we wish Aaron a speedy recovery.
FOOTNOTE, PLEASE POINT OUT ANYTHING ON THE ROAD THAT MAY IMPACT ANOTHER RIDER, STICKS, POT HOLES ETC ETC. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF THE BARS YELL IT OUT. I WAS NOT THERE BUT I BELIEVE AARON’S PREDICAMENT IS AVOIDABLE.
