Naked Bun 23rd May

A cold overcast day saw the start of the Naked Bun.  Normally the race has managed to get very good weather but at least it wasn't raining.  There were a few attacks along the way to the Neudorf hill.  I managed to keep near the front on the climb although a few riders were dropped.  As we got to the Baton bridge I managed to slip away with Chris Sharland.  We rode well together with Chris just coming round at the end to win the stage.  The others were way back.
Stage 2 saw some team work from the AvantiPlus boys.  I tried to breakaway several times but was either chased down by Avanti riders or joined by them only to find that they wouldnt work at all.  The run in to the finish was the usual hectic fiasco with cars etc.  Tom N won the sprint and I finished with Chris to place 2nd overall.
