Assuming you would be competitive in a sprint in the Bs with a finishing speed of 60 kmh, you would need 143 rpm at 88 GI. Assuming average race speed is 45 kmh, you would need 108 rpm for the duration.
On the face of it, you could gear up a little, but seasoned riders will tell you that track requires mastering the art of souplesse. Maybe train on a lighter gear to get used to the higher cadence and revert to 88 GI for racing?
