Charlie, Michael, and I raced tonight, with Melissa (who was feeling under the weather) cheering us on from the sidelines. On the mostly-flat London Classique course, we stuck together for the first two-thirds of the race. On the penultimate climb up Whitehall, I put in a dig at the top, and Michael, who had opened up a slight gap over Charlie, quickly responded. I went into TT mode at that point, and Michael gamely hung on, opening up a 30+ second gap over Charlie. Michael and I split up on the final Whitehall climb, and we ended up separated by ten seconds.
Final results:
1. Jonathan – 53:27 – 3 points
