Ferret,
Yes, I was astonished, as I had not intended to contest the sprint (tired from my efforts earlier in the race, such as they were) but at the last moment thought "why not - see how far up in the bunch I can get". Coming from a fair way back in the bunch, knowing Mal Stark and Skillo were in the bunch and primed for a sprint, and taking the bunch on the windward side I thought my chances of a place let alone the win were about the same as Witho and Dave Wells deciding the shack up together. It was a nice suprise, and I think the last win I had involved the squealing of brakes as others gifted me the win.
Witho, iLovell (that perpetual journeyman of the Angry Grade), Snedden and others enjoyed breakfast @ 3 Beans this morning on the rather large winnings from yesterday.
Very touching to see Ebo and Darren "Go Steve" give each other a cuddle before the race. Nice to see two of the better riders in the Angry Grade burying the hatchet and getting on with racing.
