Is it bollox.
There are no numbers on your backs, you're not being judged FFS.
Plus the clue is in the instruction not to 'race' each other.
Even a little sprint at the end of a group training exercise or your 'rotation' isn't a race. You're at the front because chance put you there, not through any superior racing skills or tactics.
On Saturday mornings you are being given the opportunity to learn/experience how to ride the track. You can't learn anything about racing unless you attend a Monday, Sunday, Wednesday or specific session or race meet.
