Let’s use the tandem race for today’s pace (49.4 114.1). Looking for an OTE winner.
#1 Set the pace in the tandem before fading once headed. This one is not usually on the lead and its only win was from second position against a 48…Contender
#2 Won against today’s pace in line 7 and was beaten by the 1 in line 6. Contender
#3 Only wins/close finishes are against slower…OUT
#4 Tandem best finisher won against a faster pace here in line 3. Contender
#5 Slow, out
#6 Slower, out
#7 Has won against similar or faster pace twice (lines 2 and 5) and has a great name
…Contender
#* Has a couple of good races against the pace but was beaten badly in the tandem which I can’t overlook…OUT
The 1 and 4 should be up on or close to the pace like last time waiting to get passed by the 2 or 7. The 7 seems more reliable to me against today’s pace so I will go with the 7.
