West Coast Express - BMP wins again!
November 2nd, 2007
Last Sunday was the fast and flat West Coast Express. We headed out with a tailwind at a phenomenal pace, probably averaging 60km/h for the first 10k’s as the attacks were coming thick and fast. I ended up in a break with all of the main contenders, being driven primarily by John O’Connor. One by one though, we dropped off as he was setting an infernal pace. He ended up on his own until just after Atlantis.
Just before we got into Melkbos it split again, with most of us on the wrong end of the split, but luckily they slowed down up front and we regrouped. Then Andreas launched a masterful attack along Blouberg beachfront, which no-one followed, and stayed away until the end.
Shaun Le Roux won the bunch kick, with Paul getting 5th. I sat the wrong wheel in the sprint and ended up 12th.
Well done Andreas!
