5th in scratch, can't seem to spin 51/16 quite fast enough.
5th in win and out but would have been 4th if I knew the last lap was for 3rd 4th and 5th.
Prob 3rd in points, took the first sprint by attacking at the whistle and going hard for 5 laps, then took 2nd or 3rd in the others. Guy swerved across the track just before the line for one sprint, and another guy moved up into my bars winding up for the final sprint. Sketchy cat 5s! Lol.
Hit the rollers on a smaller gear i.e 51x17 or smaller. Spinning a smaller gear on the rollers will teach leg speed and how to be smooth as it magnifies any dead spots in your pedal stroke.
Track is a lot of fun, you get to race multiple times in one night!
