Why would you assume that they are riding at their limit just because they are at the front :? Can't say I ride at 100% very often on the road, whether leading or following :roll:

funky always rides at 100%, thats why he crashes so much, it's in the dictionary so it must be true !

mind you the fact that funkys 100% is equivalent to anyone elses 2% doesn't make any difference :roll:

and don't forget the horses :oops:
Its not the horses fault they can't keep up with the lead rider :?
