duh! it was a surprise sprint, and the knocking in to you was to try and injure you or shake your nerves before the race. it's like when you're match sprinting someone new to your velodrome - you take them high up the bank, they fall, their nerves are too shaken to really compete against you when the sprint starts again.
but yeah, i would have said something, and if he did it again, throw him into a park car or something, maybe even sucker punch him while riding (which i mistakenly did during a race once, and still feel guilty about it)
