World Cup – China
World Cup, Chongming Island, China, 138.6km
World Cup Podium
The Australian National Team (excluding me) were on the front of the main bunch chasing groups back all day, the team can blame me for making their job so hard as I missed an important break on the bridge (that connects Chongming Island to the mainland). Australia chased for a total of 65km today pulling back break after break. It was a 100% commitment from the team to ensure I would have an opportunity to sprint for a podium position.
In the end the result was as expected, but not necessarily as desired. Teutenberg seems to have the edge on Wild (just) and the two of them simply have more power than I do at the moment.
I will now take one month off racing to prepare for the next World Cup in Spain; I hope to return with a little extra power!
