Here’s the graph of the data:

1. Attacking to bridge to a small (short-lived) break
2. One lap before they called the $500 halfway prime, I went with one of the best looking breaks of the day. We stayed away for almost two laps getting caught right at the prime sprint. I was still fresh enough to go with the counter-move but that didn’t last very long.
3. Working hard to keep position at the end of the race leading into the final sprint.

Here is the data for the finishing sprint:

1. The first of the four finishing corners
2. The second corner
3. The third corner
4. The fourth corner
5. The final sprint
