There should be a few different categories for fastest man. I mean, he can go really fast especially when his team catapults him up to speed and he makes a sub-10 second hard effort. Time trialists can't have their team pull them

Don't make the mistake of thinking that taking a leadout like that is easy- it definitely isn't. It beats fighting for wheels in the last 200, but you have to rock it like a fighter pilot to fight your way onto your mate's wheel and still be able to accelerate AFTER being taken up to 40 mph by the field- this goes on, in some cases, for the last 30 minutes of a race rather than the last seconds. The stuff you can't see on OLN is how hard Petacchi or Mario will have to work to get and keep his position in his team's leadout train. It really is kind of symphonic to watch it happen when it goes down perfectly..
