today's race in my div in Part 20

1. Veglia 1 04:35:24
2. Fairlie 2 04:36:43
3. Massart 3 04:36:43
4. van Oosterbos 3 04:36:43
5. Raymaekers 3 04:36:43
6. Gommeren 3 04:36:43
7. Breuskin 3 04:36:43
8. van Balen 3 04:36:43
9. Rombouts 3 04:36:43
10. Desclee 3 04:36:43
11. Roensch 3 04:36:43
12. Feucker 3 04:36:43
13. Charlebois 3 04:36:43

How does Fairlie make a group on his own if 20 other cyclists are in the same second?

[Mike]

maybe he attacked and was 'nearly' caught by the peloton?

[JoeLag]

Yeah. Of course this was the moment when he was caught again.

It's wrong anyway. It all condenses down to one question:

Was the peloton in his slipstream at that point of the race? My sense about RL would say yes, my sense of programming would say no.

Programming answer : if a cyclist attacked, every second in front of the peloton counts, i.e. there is no grouping with the peloton as long as he is "faster" than the peloton, in this case it will be hundreds of seconds which seems a bit odd, I have to admit
