This year I’m playing a support role on our crit team. Besides the team founder, I was the only one on the team last year (won two crits in 2 weeks without a teammate). This year we picked up a very strong rider, the team founder has started racing again, we added 2 other really strong riders (one was briefly a pro in Europe) and the other used to run a team of fairly accomplished conti-types. Anyway, I’m in a situation where everyone on the team is more experienced than me. So it’s fun to be racing with smart racers. And we’re all in it to race for the team, and not be selfish. In the last race I was marking a visiting former masters national champion. That was fun. My marking was successful and despite the fact that he was the strongest guy in the race, he finished off the back.
