A few years ago now, Masters Nationals was at the Jerry Baker Velodrome. In the points race, I can’t remember the age group, there was this rider that was consistently 1st across the line for every sprint. He than went out and took a lap. JBV is a 400 meter track, so taking a lap can be challenging. There some guys there who looked like they could hang with Cat 1/2 seniors.
