But that doesn't mean I'm right.. and in some cases you actually don't want to lap the field just for this reason.
I'm not going to get excited about 10th place on a weeknight crit. On the other hand, I feel justified in giving my teammate in the break a leadout. And don't feel like being yelled and screamed at for doing so.
