Just a reminder that when one field is being overtaken by a faster field at
PIR, the slower field must slow to neutral and allow the faster field to
pass. They should not start racing again until the other field is farther
enough in front to not be caught. Please refer to rule

15.1.3 Field passing

Should a field catch another field of racers that started separately (except
in a Handicap Race) the slower field will slow and ride at a neutral speed
as soon as practical after they are caught by the faster field or its lead
car to allow the faster field to pass. They will then continue to ride at a
neutral slowed pace until the faster field is 300 meters ahead or until they
are released by an official attending their race. The field being passed
will stay to the far right of the road allowing room for the passing field
unless instructed by an official otherwise. Passes will not occur in the
final 2 kilometers of a race. Riders will not pass unless there is clear
space to pass subject to rule 15.1.2.

At PIR this may impact the hotspots and ringing of the bells.
