Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

OK, can we at least agree that he shouldn't be doing cat 4 crits if his sprint speed of 26mph is fast for him?

As long as we can also agree that he shouldn't be doing cat 4 crits if his sprint speed is 44.2 mph.

Meh, roman, the officials probably lied to you to make you feel good. I've seen it happen with split times during races, I could see them smiling and nodding when you asked if you really sprinted at 44mph. Was the finish line slightly downhill, did you have a tailwind or something?
