Riding cues #2

One that I have a hard time convincing racers to believe is that the best time to attack in a race is when you are hurting the most. Unless you are an amateur in the middle of a pro peloton, the people around you in a race are of similar ability to you. If you're hurting, they're hurting. A convincing attack at that point can be ultra-demoralising. Make them believe you have more than they do!

But, sometimes, all you need is that little edge and you've taken the win. I've never understood trying for a podium when a different strategy could return the win. First or last is my approach. And it has been last a lot of times when my strategy backfired. But sometimes it doesn't. And those days are glorious, even if you only beat your mates.
