If going for a bunch sprint finish you decide yards before the line you don't want to contest it do you
a. sit up and stop pedalling
or
b. continue pedalling to reduce the risk that someone is going to slam into the back of you.
I've had someone do a. in front of me in my last two races. And if someone can tell me how to broach the subject without getting a mouthful of abuse from these people that would be good too.
If you can you get out of the way by swinging off, check over your shoulder the way you're going to move. Never sit up, always keep going.
Why are you starting the sprint if you're not going to compete? If it's a case of not being quick enough, then just follow wheels till you start getting quicker.
they shouldd really pull out of the way-if they've been leading someone out, but if theyre sprinting they should stay in a straight line, its up to you to go round them.
just shout at them, road races are always handbags at ten paces anyway 😉
