It is very hot and humid here. 10 minutes on the rollers is enough to raise a big sweat. The pursuit did not go as planned. From the power I was able to manage for 3min30 in training I was expecting to take 2 or 3 seconds of my time from 6 weeks ago. Instead I took a second longer. Nor sure why. I could not have pushed any harder. It might have been the humidity, or maybe I was just not on a good day. Stephen McNally from Ireland took a very impressive win with 3:33.8 in the qualification, beating Trevor Burke in the medal ride.
Tomorrow evening is my points race. Chance to make amends. Chris is up for his pursuit at 10, so we need to get going earlier than today.
Courtney got a bronze in the combined 50-59 points race. It looked very hard. The winner got away to take a lap and two sprints along the way. There was an Italian with a very fast sprint who took all the sprints when the bunch was together to take the silver.
I plan to post updates on here with results, pictures etc. from the European track masters championships in Montichiari. (8-12 August).
