Today was my first race of the year and first race in new team zappi kit and first time ever racing at Hillingdon cycle circuit. The race was 50 mins and 5 laps and as my first race this year I was in the 2nd and 3rd cats race so it was going to be fast. We had a fast pace though the race we did 27 miles in 1 hour 4 mins (avg. 25.1 mph) and not much happened no crashes but pace was high for most of it. On the last lap I felt good but was too far down the bunch to sprint to win so just tried to keep up and came over the line I think in the top half and was happy not to get dropped or crash and to keep up in the sprint.
Also Magnus Backstedt (the retired pro cyclist and winner of paris-Roubaix) was there watching his team (UK youth) who won.
Thanks for reading, also here's a video of the finish.
