You should never be worried about being a hazard to faster riders. One of the very first things I was tought when starting racing in Aussie is that it's your prerogative to hold your line and speed anywhere on the track even if you are being shown the blue flag. It is the job of the faster and usually more experienced rider to assess the situation correctly and make a safe pass on you. The worst thing you can do on seeing a blue flag is something unpredictable like braking and going off the race line, 'cause 9 times out of 10, that will be where the quicker bike will be heading to get past you. Another great thing in Aussie was that for the whole of your first season of racing, regardless of whatever class you were racing in, you had to wear a orange dayglo bib over your leathers.
Aint that the truth.
Iwas so worried that I was holding people up that I kept on looking over my shoulder ,,must have made horrendous line changes ..
in the 4 hour Iron man events * MX a real mans sport !* thats a different story ,,dead man riding ,,does need to keep an eye out .
