Even if somebody makes the correct snap decision to chase (maybe they hesitate to hope that their rival does the work), and even if they successfully latch onto your wheel - which are both big ifs - they are going to have to be mighty strong to come around you. The only obvious opportunity is on the long finish stretch..and that's why if in the first 60" you have separation then it's a big ask.
In my days as a racer, I thought (and also heard) many times "I coulda won if...." In crits, knowing and doing are separated by huge chasm.
Yours was a well-timed and powerful attack.

I call b/s. Talk is cheap; make'em prove it.

Awesome, @valygrl. I love all the clean air you get for yourself right at the end. Well-played.
You are going to have to get a camera for the back of your bike now. So you can see the frustration on everyone else's faces.

Ridge at 38 - this is way too long, skip to last couple of minutes for the last lap.

You'll be marked for sure, but you will do this again. Mark my words.
This is is a perfect illustration of committing to the move. You took great lines through a nice technical course. They see that behind you, and it gets in their head.
Hoperully you got some points.

Just downloaded the data on that little foray. 40s at 450w, 33 MPH to stay off the front.
Sheesh. One point.
