nferyn you mentioned that it is better to stay at the front, why is that? I would of thought you would be more sheltered in the pack.

Hi,

I actually meant that you should be among the first 10-15 riders of the pack, not pulling the lead all the time ;-)

If you have to corner in e.g. 30th position, it will be much harder to get your speed up again, while the riders in front didn't have to slow down that much in the first place
This can be the difference between getting dropped or being able to maintain yourself in the pack without too much trouble
