also one last thing, i normally see people hating on crits when they have not raced enough, or understand how to race. Crits aren't about pure power unless you're riding solo otf, you need to know how to read the race and conserve energy.
jax: here's my honest opinion on you, you might not suck, you might not be a terrible cyclist, but you sure as hell need to work on being a racer simple as that.
