So yes if I were them I'd yell at guys to get out of the way, since their race is essentially over. I've been there, it's annoying to have guys who have already lost trying to beat you.
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.
