A challenge for you. Ride you next crit with the sole intention of staying in the bunch and not doing any pulls on the front until the last lap or two. If you find yourself on the front, hold the speed for 10 seconds and pull over. Spend all your time watching others. Are their a few teams trying to control the race? (Teams are a vague grouping of guys that believe they can control a bunch like the old US Postal Team but can't). Treat the race like a game of poker. Can you resist the urge to chase longer than the other guys? Cat 5 and a ton of Cat 4 guys seem addicted to the chase and sprint after guys with more urgency than an addict huffing on a crack pipe. If it seems like the other guys are making you chase folks look at them and say "nice day for a game of solidiers, eh?" If you do feel up for some fun at the end have a dig about 5 minutes from the finish. I noticed from the other videos that you probably couldn't beat a still shrink wrapped Barbie Doll in a sprint, so sitting and waiting for the sprint is useless if you want to win or at least have a try winning. If there are little hills on the course that the bunch hammers up and eases at the top or there's another section where, for whatever reason, the paces eases, give it full gas for about 20 seconds before contemplating looking back (in training - not in a race - get used to looking under your armpits. This is useful to see if there's anyone within 15 yards of your back wheel without becoming a human windsock and sitting up to look) - if there's not, settle into TT mode and prepare for a world of andrenaline fueled hurt. Chances are there will be someone close - if its the entire bunch, sit up and safely meander back to about 10th place. After about 40 second from the end of that past attack, go again. Full gas, see what happens except this time give it a full Hail Mary effort - nose on the stem, elbows in and give it your very best mini time trial you can muster. When you are that close to the finish it only takes a couple of guys from other clubs looking at each other - and they're all trying to be their team mates equivalent of a crack lead out guy - and you have a gap. It might not happen the first time, it might not happen the second. At the end of the day, what's the worst that can happen? You either do ride off into the sunset (slim chances but if you don't try....), you either get caught repeatedly and you ultimately get dropped or you lose your lunch at some point.
