KOMs make me nervous because it is only a matter of time before you are knocked off. One time I got a KOM on a segment and not even 24 hours later I was bumped down. Next day went back to reclaim my title. Only have two KOMs that I achieved without some serious wind assistance and it was tough. Most of the segments, especially shorter ones you have to average over 30mph just coming into the segment. No way I can maintain 30mph for more than a few seconds.

KOM or placing in top 10 is fun and entertaining at times, but a PR is more valuable.
