Racing Etiquette

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Thanks guys - that's good honest feedback. I suspected I was being soft/crap/gullible.

I intend to race with a bit more tactical knowledge, look ahead and spot where I can sit in, work at th front and when I am bout to be sandbagged by someone sitting on.

To show how much of a good sport I am, I'll only rip one of his legs of next time, and make him write a polite letter asking for it back.

Then beat him to death with the leg and burn the letter

If you are willing to do all the work the others will let you. Gotta be crafty as well as fast.

I will return a wiser man next week and plunge for the line like a fat Abdoujaparov.

Just watch out for the gendarme taking photos.

I've been racing a season or two now, and have a question.

If I bridge to someone,then they sit on my wheel and get towed 5 miles all the way to the end, is it the done thing for them then to outsprint me to the line? We're talking about racing for pride at his stage, not points.

I was annoyed when it happened a couple of weeks back, but willing to admit it could be me being naive, it is a race after all.

Sid Barras (pro) did this a lot when I was a youngster. Won him a lot of races..........................
