I think your power profile has something to do with it too. I know you to be more of a sprinter trending towards all-rounder from our previous conversations. If you're like me, you spike pretty high coming out of corners and during surges just to keep the draft close or move up a bit, and it hurts us less than it does other guys spiking to the same W/kg, eliminates the gap in front of us, and exaggerates the gap behind us.
I've been coming out of really sharp corners with a 3-bike gap behind me, but feeling quite comfortable.
I don't have any crit data yet, unfortunately. I think it will be May before I have any
There's a weekly crit, but I coach soccer practice that night...
