There was an article in the sixties, one of the top riders was saying he hated the first couple of races because everybody saw themselves as a potential champion and things could get too silly. After a couple of races normal expectations resumed and things settled down.

These quick new boys though might take longer to get the message. Bad for the senior riders, good for us.
