The bad results continue! The Hope Circuit was fairly straighforward - Dave attacked early on but it all came together again. We lost a number of people in some of the early laps - I'm not sure that they knew how fast it was going to be. Chris attacked with 3 Laps to go. I had heard him talking with George and had planned to go with 2 Laps to go. He was sitting at the back of the group and I watched him go up the inside and then get around the corner first. It was quite impressive to see.
I had to wait to make it around the corner and then rode from the back of the group right off the front to try and get onto Chris - this was up the straight with the hill so it was quite a big effort. George and I lapped out to try and get Chris back - I think he had 3 others with him who had been closer at the front from the start. Coming through the finish line straight there was no-one coming through and I ended up doing a big turn when really I should have eased off and forced someone else to come through. They did in the end but it was too late and I struggled to keep up and finished the race by myself.
On the plus side though, Chris C won the B grade race so for the NA team it wasn't all bad news.
