[Ageless]

The Sungardens Carousel race again led to situations where it was difficult to break away from the pelaton as each time the stragglers found their way back behind a tandem or AL riders as happened in the VC race today. This leads to huge frustration particularly for those that have done all the work to get away from the group only to be hauled in. Would it not be possible for event organisers to start groups such as tandems and AL earlier to allow for a fairer reflection of results, this also affects the ladies racing at some events. Any comments?
