Hill Jockey speaks the truth, but it was not fast IMHO. I dropped off the back going up the bridge on the second lap with cramps, and there was a gap of I guess 300m. Stopped the cramps then put it the 11 to chase, and cruised up to get back on - and this was during periods when people seemed to be chasing as they were standing up.  Not saying this to portray my effort to get back on as some kind of superhuman effort but it was a reflection of what seemed to me to be a slow race.
