I'm not a lover of the concept of Team Orders but today demonstrated Red Bulls daft idea to "let them race" just doesn't work.
Dan had better pace but constantly had to deal with Max, either trying to pass him, or defending. If the team had in instructed Max to let Dan past and just follow without attacking, the pair could have caught and challenged the front runners. (In my opinion!)
As for our league, well, I'm up another place but the chase is getting harder!
