Tobago International Cycling Classic Stage 4

Today was the final stage of the Tobago International Cycling Classic. It was a short 800 meter open and fast crit course that we did 60 laps on. We needed to keep Matthieu in the points leader jersey. In order to do that we needed to be aggressive because the race leader was close to Matthieu and a better sprinter. There were points every 5 laps, and they were 4 places deep, so a ton of points were up for grabs on the final day. The race started out fast from the gun. After 20 laps Oliver and I got in a big move of about 8 riders with nobody in contention for Matthieu's jersey. We hit it hard to make this move stick but the peloton reeled us back in. I just kept trying to go in moves from here on out without people in contention. With about 25 laps to go I got away with a group of 4 and worked very hard, but we were caught at the prime with 20 laps to go. After this attack I was dead and was able to cover no more moves. It was super hot and humid, so that made the intensity even more difficult. Near the end of the race some moves went off the front but none of them stuck. A Foundation rider took the win and the PSL rider took the overall win. We are not sure if Matthieu won the points jersey or not. We will figure that out later today or tomorrow after the toughest, craziest race I have ever done. We worked super well together as a team, and our tactics were solid. Whatever the result is we know we did our best. Check in tomorrow to see how the Tour of Tobago went.
