Absolute slugfest with Kelsey Smith. We smashed the first Yorkshire KOM to gap the rest of the Bs, nothing too crazy around the loop, then he attacked hard in the second half of the KOM. I had enough to get back on terms and counter, going 8s clear over the top but just missing the A group as they surged into the descent.
He found two As who kept riding and I couldn't hold them off so I eased back into that group. Kelsey followed an early A move with maybe 500 to go and got a couple of bike lengths but I dug in, slowly reeled him back, and had enough of a kick left to put it away.
Easily the deepest I've gone in ECRO this year 🥵
Six in a row now and a top 4 in Liege will sew up GC.
