Never let your front wheel touch anything.

That is all.

Pull the field. If you work hard enough, they'll let you win.

Studies have shown that if you are faster than the rest of the field chances are you will win.

Protect your front wheel.

By putting it next to someone's rear wheel. That way no one can put their frame bump in your spokes.


PS: carry your own frame bump.
