    A4 race done and dusted. 3 VCB starters and 3 finishers in bunch. No points but all upright and safely home.
    Vets race tomorrow and thats my road season done for another year.

    Fair play! Bring it home tomorrow. Can't muster the motivation to get out the last few weeks. Must try harder in 2018.

    Nice race and couldn't get a gap for the Sprint, all dressed up in the bunch after losongy wheel who finished 4th, he went left 1km out and my gap closed to follow.
    Questionable conduct towards a Junior A4 rider from an older lady on two occasions, asshole conduct tbh.

    Feel.a bit deflated now but with a 4th and a 1st in my debut racing season is something to be proud of really.

    +1 on that, well done Lucan. Corners swept, road surface in good condition. Well stewarded. Good circuit for a sizeable bunch.

    Yes that is what I gathered from sticky bottle results. Was considering going to the race however and clearly saw 3 separate races on the advertising poster though it did strike me as strange that the A1/2 and A3 races were given as the same length.

    Were numbers low in these races ?

    It was changed in the week leading up to the race, circumstances beyond their control was the reason given. Not sure on the numbers contesting the 3 as didn't take much notice before hand.

    I really didn't think that one through. Better try and get a Tiernans jersey on your podium. I presume it will be just like the league and we go from the gun until only the bare minimum survive. Are you racing or marshalling?
