Westport Gran Fondo - 14/04/2018

Jamie Busher was second overall.
I was 65th out of 265 strong field.

Jamie gave a post race interview to on-site reporters for Luke GJ Potter Magazine Weekend Edition.

A basic synopsis is that interview:

Jamie was in a group of six formed at the head of the race. One of the riders rolled off the front with 25-30km to go. The group let him hang in the headwind. They hoped that he would blow himself up. Spoiler Alert: He stayed away with an eight minute winning margin. Jamie got into a twos-up sprint, which he won. The third placed rider was an A2 rider.
