Race Ethics Cont'd..

Although I am still undecided about the ethics of not waiting when a rider gets a flat in general I do think that the ethics of waiting at a race like Rainier Roubaix are pretty clear. While I applaud Anton for suggesting the field wait for Rob, the correct answer is you don't.

Equipement selection, bike handling and field position are a major part of these type of races. They are meant to be a determining factor, full stop.

That of course forces me to rethink whether or not I should have even considered Rainier Roubaix when we didn't wait for Anton.....
