Depends...is there a follow vehicle for your race? If not, carry a spare tube and a pump. You go lighter by carrying a CO2 inflator and carry a lightweight spare tube.
Just don't do what my teammate saw at a crit...some guy was attempting to open a Clif Bar in the last corner! Do your eating when the pace isn't so hard and save yourself some grief, preopen wrapper of the energy bar. Ain't nothing like trying to wrestle with a wrapper in the middle of a pack!
