The best starting place (4,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pole position

(Other definitions for pole position that I've seen before include "First place" , "Advantageous starting place" , "Racers vie" , "At turn of century, papacy was" , "Good starting-point for race" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
