james - ' I'm happy with how the weekend went, espeically with myself being fresh on the bike from my broken tibia last year. I didn't take any risks with it just being a test as such and not my championship, but I run a good consistant pace and it felt comfortable with the settings we came to, so there's more to come, it's always good to feel like you can go faster!
