I am wondering how necessary it is to carry water during a 20km
criterium race? Would a moderate water load prior to the start work?

This is assuming mild weather and at a medium grade level. I know there
can be other significant variables, but the above question stands.
Thanks.

That water may cause you to want to urinate during the race. Since
there won't be time to stop during the
criterium, I suggest wearing a diaper. All the top racers to it.
