Around 80 starters lined up in this well regarded race. My original plan was to hold back for one of the climbs closer to the finish but as it was I ended up towards the front up the first climb to Orion and following wheels got into the break. Certainly was a motivated move and whilst we did not build a gain quickly we were holding the peloton. After Navarrenx we increased our lead and fortunately managed to hold on to the end. I never really felt good but worked hard. Tough into the headwind. Similar to last weekend, with 10km to go the attacks came and I did not quite have the legs to go with them. However, still happy with with my 4th place, my best result in FFC races for about 20 years!
