well, Chicago crit was on a flat wide open coarse, the hammer was down from the start. because the course was so wide it made it very dangerous being able to ride 5 wide through some corners at full speed. This was probably the most dangerous/dodgy race i have done. I followed a lot of attacks for the whole day but nothing stuck. The course wasn't hard enough to put the peloton under pressure.
2 laps to go we did a burner up the side of the bunch together before getting chopped once we were up there. A crash happened a corner later at the front which caused the top 30 riders to go everywhere and then the chase was on to get back together. this left us in a position not so favourable and we had to work very hard for the last couple of laps. I wasn't able to move up enough before the final lap when it strung out. i rolled over the line 27th and Hayden 18th.
Very disappointing day when you know you have the legs to go better. looking forward to next weekends Tour of Elk Grove, have to make up for this one.
