Chris did a great ride in the 55-64 2k pursuit to win gold. 2:25 in the heats and 2:26 in the gold medal ride. I rode the points. Very hard race. I got a third in the first sprint and then got away with another rider, through the second sprint where I got second. We got caught. I managed to hang on after that but did not have enough in me to get away again. At one point I was dangling and David Jack gave me a tow back up to the bunch. I owe him for that. Ended up 7th with 5 points. Need to work on the speed endurance a bit more....
Tomorrow is the Derny race. Heats are only at 5 pm, so a fairly leisurely morning. No races for Chris. Derny will be interesting. We are not allowed to provide our own drivers, so it is pot luck with an Italian driver .... Looking forward to that though. Should be fast.
I plan to post updates on here with results, pictures etc. from the European track masters championships in Montichiari. (8-12 August).
