I'd say go after the race splits up on the 2nd lap.
What was the general dispute on the team anyway?
Not a dispute but more of a difference of opinion.
That is perfect, and you are totally right, on the first lap the only organized team won't let anyone get away. The question I would ask is if the top of the hill on the second lap is a little late. About 20k to the finish and everyone still there will be pretty motivated.
Maybe go just before the downhill?
