Sunday's race, I talked to the guy who's wheel I was following. He was expecting the ORC guy, who was first around the turn to ramp up the pace to start the leadout for the ORC guys that were in the race.

When that guy didn't lay it down for a couple of hundred meters out of the turn, we were both toast.

My plan was that the ORC guy would keep the pace high to 200 meters or so, the guy in fornt of me would jump, I'd sit on his wheel and come around at the end.

But when the first guy couldn't or wouldn't ramp the pace I was SOL.

Thus, I think my problem was twofold, 1) being too far forward, and 2) choosing the wrong leadout.
