I think that's the nature of 4's and 3/4s. Less risk takers. I'm sure if somebody made a similar move in Masters 1/2/3s or P12s, more opportunists would have tried to go with the moves. As for me I've raced for a few years and I know what can and can't do (sprint) and I have a power profile to prove it. So I try to attack alot and try to get into moves. Its fails most of the time.
It worked last week at a stage race and its what got me out of Cat 4 a few years ago. I think sometimes I'm a little too eager and a lot people I race with know my MO so i have to have a little more patience with it. I guess you could ask why not skip the 3/4 and just do it in M123 or 2/3 race....but the leap to be able to do that successfully is really big and i'm not there yet.
