Little 45 minute warm up race tonight before the main Crit race at 8PM. 22 riders, all with different intentions, were all ready to take the start line for this 10.81 mile, 403ft route which is by far the easiest route in the latest Rouvy 5 part tour de Suisse challenge

The top guys didn’t really bother with the “warm up” part of the title and just focused on the “race” part!🥵 “feelslikemonday” won in just over 25 minutes with “Simon_Hahenbrunch” just 5 seconds behind. Regular rider “PatrykS_Gdynia_PL” came home just 27 seconds behind first to take the bronze with “stefan793” close by in 4th.

5th and 6th finished with nothing between them but Rouvy placed “Tom-CV” in front of “wielkblekit“! I do wonder how Rouvy decides who to give the place to when the finish time is exactly the same?

7th was “wurstrolle_81” who I feel has been away for a bit as I’ve not mentioned his name for a while and 8th goes to “StephanieBriggs” who is definitely the first woman I’ve typed about since starting these blogs, so deserves a special mention for that alone. hope you race with us again soon!

Final 2 top 10 places go to “rouvy1bryon” in 9th, and finally we get a muckersworldwide rider in the top 10 with “Chak” taking the place! Thank you Chak!!

Any thoughts or comments on your race, please leave below as its always great to hear/read your side to the race!!

    5th and 6th must of been a photo finish conclusion 😁
    Was good to work with the small group to the end.
    Enjoyed this one and was meant to be not working too hard for the later crit.

    Awe :-)) thanks!! As you know – not many women racing – I wasn’t too form but appreciated Simon hanging out with me for a bit which I fear cost him the first place 🥇
