Staying Near the Front

Hello all!

I've only finished my 4th race of the season, two of which were crits, but I'm finding I'm having a really hard time staying in the top third of the peloton. It's not a matter of me not having the legs, just that I seem to lose a lot of spot going around turns and on faster sections of the course where everyone is trying to move up. I don't think my turning technique is the problem because I stay with the wheel in front of me, I think I'm just not picking smart places to be.

Anyone have tips on how to actually stay near the front of the group in a criterium?

Thanks
James
