I wouldn't be so sure. Some sprinters have a good jump but fade really fast. Some have a mediocre jump but can hold the speed for a long time. Course also has a lot to do with it. A flat fast finish...

You may be working to hard in the lead up to the sprint, and using up your sprint in the process. The lead up is also not a steady effort, so even if you have sufficient FTP to be in the pack at the...

I thought the corners were fine as long as you stayed inside.



I placed 12th in Cat 4, and my average power for the thing was 235W @ 160 lbs. 288W is a high average for a Cat 4 crit.
