[QUOTE=erikjonsson;3541417]I was doing the second to last turn on the front of the bell lap and we came out three abreast at turn 4 during the third lap out because there was a very small and tired rider up front that refused to swing off.
Yes I spoke to him at the end of the race. He had the energy to sit on the wheel but was unable to contribute to the pace. He said he looked over his shoulder to swing up (questionable towards the end of a training session) and saw riders on his outside so he stayed were he was so they could go round him and take up the pace. He died badly, all riders had passed him by the home straight.
