If you’re planning on focusing on crits, weight won’t play as big a role as say a climbing road race. In a flat crit the main driver is power/drag (aero), not power/weight. Heavier guys can usually do pretty well in crits and time trials since you’re probably able to match or put out more power than the smaller guys. I’m about 210lb and tend to fare pretty well in flat road races and crits. Look at guys like @Pete. He crushes it.
