    The ever green Sean Lally finished in the A3 bunch yesterday, not bad for a man in his 70's!
    I suspect that was just a warm up for the IVCA season starting in a few weeks - he probably was holding back to avoid any accusations of robbing points from the juniors:pac:

    Hope all these wannabee vets understand how it works, and the fact that if they wish to "progress" they must observe certain standards. The main one they need to understand concerns ensuring they respect their elders (as they obviously aspire to such status themselves) and in particular recognise me as their protected rider

    There was - having said that the one race I won had a certain club attempting to control the race from about 3-4 km out by shoving all their riders on the front of the bunch and slowing it down while another attempted to break

    The way the IVCA operates is it's supposed to be every (wo)man for (her)himself with no team tactics allowed. I think what was happening last year was quite blatant but probably no worse than had gone on before.

    Equally though I remember a race when I made a break with about 10km to go and built up quite a lead only for a fellow club member to close it down, but that's pretty standard in our club.....
