Lol! I was surprised myself when I looked down during the race. I've done a few longer road races but this was my first crit, and I agree it was fast. Over the 27km's, the average speed was 41.6km/hr over the duration.
If you're at the pointy end of the front, you're working hard for the time that you're up there, but when you're behind someones wheel, you're spending 30% less energy.
