Another day goes to plan! Well nearly…. our plan was to send Tiffany Cromwell of The Honda Dream Team up the road in a break-away. Tiff broke away with two other riders (who had not yet gained points in the series) and worked really hard to keep the small group away. In the end Tiff came 3rd. It was great for me to see another Honda Dream Team mate stand on the podium! Well done Tiff!
I won the bunch kick for 4th while Peta Mullens (Honda Dream Team) came 5th after a brilliant lead-out! 3rd, 4th and 5th for Honda today but more importantly, we increased our lead for the series win, the sprint series win and the team’s classification!
Nimesha Smith fell hard today towards the end of the race- after working well to control the race for our team; we’re hoping she will feel ok to start tomorrow.
Jos Tomic was once again the strongest rider on the final laps and will play a key role in helping the team secure the series on the final day tomorrow!
