Adding to this, this is where timing your pre F200 entry 50m becomes critical. Apparently it's pretty common, especially for those using smaller gears, to hit top speed at the start of or before the timed section. You want top speed around the exit of T2 on a 250m track. Timing the entry 50m will help you to establish your jump point. Also play with a longer windup, so more speed is developed before the drop in and see how that affects things. It does work for some people, so worth a try. It's also worth adding that I've seen a few fast guys that the jump point doesn't really affect their F200 much at all. I'm sure that doesn't help, but worth noting that it may really not be that critical, just so long as you're not jumping too early so as to hit top speed to soon
