Tuesday Night World Champion!!!

So it’s the Tuesday after the MSGP. My coach said that I wouldn’t have the legs to go to the training race tonight but said I could try anyway. After two of the 6 lap race I got dropped from the lead group. (This never happens!!!) In the chase group (with the rest of us that raced the prior weekend) I helped organize a pretty hard chase. The lead group ended up putting time into us but not much. With one lap to go on the slight hill about 300m from the finish I attacked. I knew the guys in the chase with me were tired so I thought I would try and see if they would give up. While doing this there was a crash up the road and the Lead group fell apart and stopped. I flew past them and was now in the lead. With about 1k to go Diego bridged up, and attacked. I got on his wheel and followed his several accelerations until about 100m to go and sprinted past him with ease. In the end it was like a Match Sprint. So by default I was crowned World Champion for the next week. Next time I would like to take it rightfully! But I’ll take it regardless.
