In the 3s around here lately, the teams are working together better than in the past, and the kilo attacks aren't as good of an option, since I'll be starting my attack against a pack that's already doing 35mph.

In the 4s though, it's a sprinter culture. Everyone thinks they're Cavendish, so the speed with 1km to go isn't so ludicrous.
