What's the story behind this Alf thing that one of the old timers seems to be losing his shit over?
Alf Engers rode in a similar position, for similar reasons. I wasn't there (even I'm not that old), but it seems that he got away with it when he used the technique to become the first rider under 50:00 for 25 miles, but got banned for it in a later event. Some people take hero worship to ridiculous levels; I bet there's some nutter on TTF who will fly off the handle if you suggest that Tom Simpson was a doper.
The thread is still there:

It's quite entertaining.
