UK National Criterion Chance was on Friday, this is the mensurace, I hope the women's out hopefully today or tomorrow So it's a pretty like not mega technical circuit. There were like two corners that were pretty tight Some rain some not rain People you'll know Josh Tarlings here, which is pretty big to be honest Sam Watson Lewis ASCII I'll kind of the main well-tool guys. There's probably some others I've forgotten quite a lot of domestic people as well and also Some kind of like Conti guys as well like Harry Tamfield et cetera Charlie Tamfield So we can see here. I want to focus on Josh Tarlings him being here He really lived in everyone's head rent free every time he attacked people were following Laffrey and Senso I think he did a lot of work I don't really understand why sometimes like he just be on the front like here just pulling his Olli Wood Used to ride for Canyon or 8085 before they went bankrupt But he is a mega track rider you can see here again kind of just drilling on the front I'm not really sure this achieves a lot But a lot of people seem to do this on this straight I don't know if it's just because they want to fight for the corner and it's almost like waste putting energy in here It's worth it because you stay at the front the whole time Which probably is why but I did kind of question some of the tactics sometimes of like what they're doing But anyway Sam Watson on the front here again kicks out the corner super strong Tarlings doesn't like him follow these mad accelerations as well as other people But here kind of again it looks like something can happen, but then Tarlings doesn't really come around him We're sitting on his wheel Charlie time for your coat closes up and everyone's only got like half a meter So though it's hard everyone does it then Tarlings attacks here and again You think okay, yeah, maybe this is gonna be it, but then he just doesn't seem to have that like Mad acceleration to get away from other people And also he was just marked everywhere you moved people followed him and it doesn't really matter how strong you are Everyone's gonna follow you. It's pretty tough to get away So again, you can see you can see you can have like a million riders here And to monitor they kind of messed up quite badly in this race, but we'll get onto that later Um, I wouldn't say they had an out favorite well, he definitely didn't have an out favorite so maybe that's why they didn't ride Um much of as a team, but they kind of I don't really know what their tactics were if I were them I'd go Charlie time feel let's get in a break. Let's make it hard string about But again, you can see Josh Tarlings here just riding on the front and I just don't think it was a great tactics from him either But I mean it is what it is people just seem to want to do what they want to do That bostop comes to the front here he drills it really hard to be fair He was like lurking at the back the whole time comes the front nukes it and here again I'm like Josh trying surely has to come around and try and pull across But then some what's and you can see bridges across Ollywood on his wheel and then that ever I mean like Josh Giddings is coming across for a lot of destiny and a 23 And then you're back to square one and no one's really doing anything like everyone's kind of just mark each other and it just wasn't really technical enough in times of like The speed or being reduced Here you can see Ollywood he's on the front now ahead of Josh Tarlings gaps in through the corner Accelerates out here and Tarlings I think well, this is where it is the race 100% but You know he's on his wheel He just can't seem to respond straight away a gap opens up here It's like maybe two three meters there and because it's really strong that if you look 20 wheels back It's mega strong out now Tarlings looks at Watson Watson says no bostop says no we've got some people are getting latched Ollywood Goes on the inside Takes a racing line goes around the corner and this is like a decent gap and that this is the race here Ollywood attacks into the back of the TV motorbike And I reckon this had a big impact I'm not going to say wouldn't have won without it But wow, wow the TV motorbike does help a lot because everyone else now has no draft. He's got TV motorbike He did like 316 normalize on this So when he was on his own he basically rode 336370 the last 10 minutes he did like 400 normalize He said that he like basically kept it pretty steady um Like he just thought people were to cross but you can see Tarlings looking at all everyone and everyone just looks each other and goes It's one person he won't stay away But like he's really good Ollywood like Tim Pesuit wild champ You know, he's one European scratch race like he's mega good at this kind of effort Arrow rails corners has got the motorbike to draft and although maybe it's only 10-15 meters Like you can see it's definitely not mega close but still it's decent And you can see how people just attacking Tarlings following everything Tarlings just lived in everyone's head rent free And so they just couldn't really seem to understand that Ollywood was the issue here is 12 seconds and the gap goes up and up and up it gets up to about 15 seconds here and then it goes up to 40 seconds and everyone's just messing around So apparently don't ride. I don't know why they don't ride You know, it's like okay fine those guys are laughed as well by the way anyone who looks close is laughed um Like like I know you're not gonna win it But like they start to do a little bit of riding here Tekkers for Alec Briggs that again they have some okay a couple riders Like they just know and really seem to take it up I think that's because Tarlings was such a favorite But you know he didn't win last year map boston won last year somewhat since there as well those with a podium So they're all there But you know when you see this looking around People crashing in the wet. This is a big oil um San Watson goes down droskins goes down superman lad was the first to deck it Everyone else basically get makes it through but again. This is just like loses momentum In some ways it's good, you know, there might be a shorter Um a smaller bunch of might help but no um again You can see the gap yes here is absolutely huge Um and we're coming into the last lap and just no one got close to bonus like it's now up to 38 seconds Everyone's just marking each other you can see here. It's kind of wild attacks, but you know They're just there wasn't any cohesion it wasn't really hard enough. I pretty didn't go I know it was just like I don't know exactly why the win was thinking was like a headwind down straight I was like I could have impacted it being see all he would hear it knows is one it um and yeah 35 minutes 40 minutes solo. I think it was in total unbelievable ride like absolutely crazy like no one's No one like you know easy he was like I didn't ride that hard until the end But even so like just the way he rode compared to everyone else was just so like Just no one can come close because even that first like five ten minutes the gap just kept on going out Even though you're quite a lot of people chasing Anyway, cheers watching hope you enjoyed this quick recap and I'll see you in the next one So
