Im going to start racing in some weekly crits in my area. I hear crits are alot different than normal road races.

I know the pack of riders in a crit is usually alot tighter than other races, and im just asking for tips and advice.

Ive been riding with a local club doing b+/a rides for a long time now, but we never practice being ina TIGHT group, its always just a paceline or double paceline.

Anyone have any tips for riding in a tight pack? I imagine it is a bit hectic at first, always thinking your going to get too close and lock bikes up, the only part I especially worry about is hitting turns at 25-30mph with a tight pack. Ive been told to just stay right on the wheel of the person in front of me through the turns.

Any other tips?

I also know there are some tips and tricks on fast cornering, I can hit turns at like, 23-25mph, but I want to just know more about the techniques for faster cornering.

thank you!
