The good thing about being first out for the miss-in-out is that it keeps you fresh for the later races. ;-)
Lots of stragegy in that one, and lots of variations. I see some newer people just riding off of the front, figuring that will be good for an above average finnish, while some of the experienced people just sit on the back and pick people off one by one.
Just remember that the end of each sprint is one of the most dangerous times on the track, so hold your line and speed. The people in the back are riding a lot harder and faster across the line than those in the front, and that is when problems can happen...
