Oh my, wasn’t there a cacophony of bitching and moaning in the bunch of my local crit this morning? Seriously guys, if you choose to ride – aka hide – towards the back on a narrow and technical course with 20+ riders of varying road-handling abilities in front of you, you have to expect shit to happen. That’s the risk you take as a wheelsucker. As several rivals were happy to point out, there’s always plenty of room at the front, of course….
As I said at the time, there’s plenty of room at the front…
Everyone should earn some stripes at club level before contemplating wheel sucking. Time up front means a stronger rider anyway…..
