I find that(after having raced with the women and with the men) that one of the main reasons why they are worse in the women's races is that the women tend to break through the corners(yuck), so they then surge on the straightaways, where the men flow through the corners and then accelerate from there, but the acceleratin isn't so surgey that way.
