This has been finished off-line. Yes, I admit to making assumptions
about whether the rider was in our group or not. The facts are simple,
the officials were clear that he was on the start line, and that's the
final call.

Most of this hub bub is because of the guy who won the 4-5 Tuesday the
reality is the groups not paying attention to a rider giong off the
front
and not being chased down is the fault of the group. To say some guy
flew by
us and we didn't know might fly if multiple races where going on. In
this
case the rider although in the lead set the rest of the group up to beat
him
he started his sprint too soon and not one rider used him as a lead out
I
can't believe the whole group missed this opportunity. We try our best
to
make sure there is no sandbagging but if your in a race that is not the
time
for politics, it is time for race tactics which in this case would be
sit on
the fast guy.

But, if the cat 4's don't want this guy to win there are ways to make
this happen.
n.b. ... this refers to racing strategy, not unsportsmanship-like
behavior.

Just think of the thrill of being the PIR cat 4 "champion" if you're a
cat 3.
I think PIR is a great place to train and learn how to race, winning
isn't the pinnacle of a successful Tuesday night.

Has this been addressed? Riders who ride in 3/4s one week then ride
down in 4/5 the next. I'm not talking about those of us who try the
3/4s occasionally to check whether we can hang...I'm talking about
competitive in 3/4s and then ride down the next week and blow away the
group?
Thanks,
