Starting at the pin is favoured, but starting late at the pin is probably the worst thing you can do! I was rolled by most of the guys directly on top of Julian, I think this was Benny Van Der Steen who was giving me most of the bad air, fortunately he is so fast that before things get too bad he is ahead and I was clear again. Josh Angulo was lucky also, pushing the guys in the middle to the top of the line up high so I was able to set a nice trim and get into the mix at the first mark just behind the main pack. This is not actually too bad of a position to attack from; usually the top 3 or 4 guys are pushing each other so hard and fast into the first gybe that they will end up leaving a little gap. I call this the Julian Quintel trade mark move. He is so good at picking these tiny gaps and really gives his exit from the gybes 110% pumping effort.
