Aim for the neck (so I used to be told).

Seriously though, watch the best. At about 26s the Canadian rider overlaps a wheel and slides all the way to the cote while everyone behind casually rides past. In regular speed it was impressive. Is it cherry picking an example, yes. Can you find videos of a Track rider going down and taking others? Sure. Is there something to learn from this? I think yes, stay relaxed and don't over react. I bet you put 10 typical weekend racers behind that Girl and 2 of them immediately take themselves down, the rest scattering like an IED when off in the field.
