End of a crit is like the first 200m of an open water swim
The issue with sprinting and trying to gain 5 spots to get 20th is a risk reward situation for me. There is no reward for 20th. People at there limit always make bad decisions and i have already made one mistake being in 25th I don’t need a second mistake that could cost me more then an entry fee.
I enjoy crits also. I train to race
