Last night B crit. Made bonehead move and didn't follow the two riders who were in winning break. I did a half-hearted solo bridge attempt, but gave up pretty quick and went back to the field. My teammate put in a last lap flyer. I was trying to win the bunch sprint. I went, closed quickly to my teammate off the front. I looked back, I had a huge gap, so I sat up, yelled at him to keep going, and let him take 3rd, while I took 4th. Got dropped in the A crit. Then was on the verge of cramping, so I quit. But I didn't get dropped with the first attack, and was with the lead guys for a fair bit of time. Letting my teammate get on the podium - he thanked me, which I think was the right thing for me to do, as I had four podiums in a row, he is a TT/breakaway guy and 50+, hard for him to get on the podium, good for team morale. 1minute video:
