I don't really have any tactics other than stay in the first 4-5, drive the pace a bit, do the odd attack and then go like stink at the sprint.
The other blokes in the sprint (5 of 'em) were drafting on to the straight but because I was at the tail and wanted to go around the corner a bit faster, I ended up doing what I did on Tuesday... go around the outside on my own and hammer. So they were on the left side of the road and I was on the right slowly reeling them in and passing them.
Just like Tues, I started passing them at a reasonable pace, noticed some starting to tire (it's a hell of a long straight) changed gear and seemed to take off.
I still haven't done a standing sprint... I can't imagine going any quicker at this stage (feels like my legs would fail when I try) let alone even get up on the pedals. Any tips on that?
