For me, knowing that the computer can’t be visible in racing, one of the things I pay attention to in training is the feel. The feel of the speed in a F200 windup. That’s about it for me, as the rest was very much opponent based and just riding flat out. I can only assume pursuit is similar in knowing how you and the speed should feel.
I was never one to look at my computer while racing track even when I could see it, but there were riders that just couldn’t stop looking and quite often they needed a gentle yelling at because they could be downright dangerous
