I think your view is pretty reasonable – control is reduced. What people see professionals doing on closed roads doesn’t translate well to amateurs on open roads. The second time I observed the position described, in use on an SPR ride, was down Darlington Rd – a road with driveway entries etc. and a fairly low speed limit.

couldn’t get an edit so:

Thanks for starting

Thanks for the statring the chat Liam

And thanks to Matin and Tom for the ‘fix’

Had a chuckle … don’t have kit to swap. Interested in buying but not sure if race fit will be too lean a cut for me too. Let me know if you don’t get any interest in a swap.
