Hello,
When racing at Herne Hill in London last week, the last event of the evening (dusk and rain) was a 'mass start' scratch race. I was sitting on the sprinters line and holding on for grim death, the pace was pretty full bore. A guy in front blew and was getting dropped. The field was streaming over the top and I couldn't see a way up into the flow safely, I ended up slowing onto his wheel and getting spat out, gutted. In this situation, can you go under someone who is riding slowly in the sprinters lane? Or, should I have barged into the faster moving flow of riders over the top?
