position. timing. acceleration.

I always would try and sit in the top few. Way more forward than most guys. In fact, most of the time people were looking for my wheel, so I'd slot in someone's lead out and they'd be content to let that happen. Timed right, I'd jump first. I'd get a gap on the jump due to a harder acceleration, and timed right I'd have a gap I could hold to the line.

I was not fastet or most powerful. Not by a long shot.
