Brazil Road Race World Title





Here are a few of the shots from the Road Race. It was a 10 K circuit with a 1.5 K climb before a 700 meter (slightly) down hill sprint to the line (10 laps). My heart rate never went so high as it did in both the Time Trial and the sprint of the Road Race. 206 beats/min when I went over the line after covering one of the two Venezuelan's moves made on the climb leading into the sprint.


---- Of the last two riders in the break with me I was anticipating the weaker of the two to make a move on the hill forcing me to cover it. I was then planning on the stronger to counter after the summit... well shame on them. The stronger of the two made the first move blowing the weaker (his teammate and fellow countryman) right off our wheel in the climb. He had a great sprint and strong move but didn't expect a 40+ MPH sprint and subsequently finished about 50 meters back.
