You have the right idea, but need to check your math. The actual ratio works out to 1.001:1 for the case of rider in a Pro,1,2 Crit accelerating out of a corner. This can be taken to be toward the upper end of expected values. For someone just riding around and not sprinting out of corners, the ratio would drop by around another order of magnitude, 1.0001:1.
