Over a timed short course race of 50 minutes plus 5 laps on a breezy course, Andy maintained close contact with the leaders throughout almost the entire race. With 1 lap remaining he found himself boxed in and despite missing the initial final uphill surge to the line still retained enough power to reel the lead group in and finish a commendable 8^th, having averaged an impressive sped of 24.5mph, and just 3 seconds behind the leader.
