How good would you feel if you just ducked under the tape at a spot where no one's looking, thereby halving the course. You go on to a "convincing" win. This is quite silly, I don't think most people would ever try something as goofy as this- it would totally undermines the race itself, and goes against the very nature of the thing. But how would this be any different than using drugs or other illegal methods to win? If you race bikes, and feel in your heart that a victory like this would be satisfying, it's really time to rethink some things. And after celebrating your course-cutting victory with a defiant salute, collecting the modest cash prize and gaining the adoration of the fans could you return to the sport after being caught, days later by a witness that exposes your treachery? I don't really think I could. And if I did return to racing, I don't think I'd show up with my i-pod on throughout my first race back... I'll save that rant for my blog maybe, but that has got to be one of the rudest things I've seen in a race.
