I've not watched it yet but a fast start can be used if they're not expecting to win to panic the other rider into doing something silly.

Good point...but with a coach at the side of the track telling them what to do that can't work much at that level. On another note, I'm sure I saw the Swiss coach showing his man lap times on an iPad when he went through...is that allowed? I know they can communicate with the riders, but showing them on a screen...

As I said I've not seen it yet. What was his coach doing? Yes iPad allowed for pursuit. Not the Hour record though. The Hour doesn't allow electronic timings for the rider. The intention is that it's basically self-paced.
