I&#39;m definitely glad Sam got the win. It didn&#39;t click when I was writing that Corbin&#39;s bike penalty was a drafting one and yeah she totally would have been back if she hadn&#39;t had the pull. Definitely pleased that she was caught--there have been a few races where I&#39;ve seen packs fly by me and they don&#39;t get caught or they only get the four minute penalty when they&#39;ve easily given themselves a 10-plus minute advantage (see Racine in July).<br />Thanks so much for reading and posting!<br /><br />KateKatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10466705829765921785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039975681401569340.post-17891859106452547862009-11-23T02:26:27.523-06:002009-11-23T02:26:27.523-06:00It was a great result for Sam, great time, great bike. You need to be a lot harsher on Corbin though, she wouldn&#39;t&#39;ve been in a sprint for the win without the penalty, unless the rule violation she was doing that brought about the penalty hadn&#39;t been caught. Had she been riding legally, she&#39;d&#39;ve been further behind still.<br /><br />We should be pleased that her breaking the rules was caught, and we got a fairer race because of it.Jim Leyhttp://jibbering.com/noreply@blogger.com
