3. Not sure if they are "big", but in the beginning we're specifically at: Snelling, Merco crit/RR, Merced - In general: Everything else
4. First full season on this (or any team), upgrading to 4 after the Early Birds and surviving from there on out. Be in good enough form by mid summer to do well at the Albany crit and not be burnt out by Benicia. Otherwise do as many races as I can and find out which ones I like the best. Learn as much as possible.

I switched to that team too this year. Look forward to racing with you later in the season. Truth be told, I rushed to 4's last year from 5s straight out of EB's and really it's not worth rushing or worrying about. Not all that different, except the occasional later start time.
