I can't speak for all of them. The fastest crit I have been in so far was won at 26.2 mph, which did raise a few eyebrows, it was faster than the cat 3 race on the same card. Very flat course, though, with only one slight gradient. There is no consistency about road race distances, the shortest I've seen has been 25 miles and of course they go much longer than that. There aren't that many road races just for Cat4s, of course.
