Plenty of races are simply too fast for a break to get off the front. I rolled off the front many times last year, but sometimes, even at my peak 1min intensity after making my move, the field just wouldn't let me go.

If 600w coming out of 65kg in the drops isn't getting away from a field of 3s, well, it's time to toss one up to the big man upstairs, and hope for the best.
