DW,

Yes, I found that out when I raced yesterday.  I left as I did not think I would place and Kim Seldon needed to get home quickly for work.  I made the error of not contesting the first sprint, and was annoyed at myself thereafter. Head was not in gear for the remainign sprints. I take it Stephen Browne was 1st and you were 2nd?

I came second yesterday in a bunch sprint, and it was (I was told) close between 1st and 2nd.  I hit that pothole about 30m from the finish hard enough to dislodge my spares bidon (better than deviating from my line in a bunch sprint) and a "snake bite" puncture to the rear wheel, and put the rear wheel out of allignment. So my winnings will go on a wheel true and tube...it was a good race, albeit quite "soft" for the most part.
