What I did is use my preview function to find the time when you broke away. I did not watch the other parts of the video. I immediately noticed the junior who looks like he just got out of prison. Aero helmet, tight jersey, good position and buff. I might suggest you check your resources after you leave the pack to see who is following, if anyone. Sometimes it is hard to know but maybe you could have worked with the junior and together caught the break. Also, If you have a rider on your wheel, you will go faster for the same power.

Also, it seems like you needed too much power for the speed generated. Maybe it was the terrain or the wind or you need a better aero position / equipment or IAB for solo breaks / bridges.
