I can relate...so if you happen to notice a team with a near perfect spin and are sporting Carmichael training water bottles, it might be worthwhile not to go as hard as they do early...then again, there are some fat or older teams that can rip like they both have three lungs.
Learned long ago not to base it all on the bike and ride with the moto "it ain't the arrow, it's the indian"
