That's possibly it right there.
And this will help:
On the second issue, it's a question of whether the rider holds their line, yo yo's the paceline, brakes in the paceline, overlaps wheels, allows gaps to develop, accelerates the paceline, allows the speed of the paceline to drop, is a threat to get dropped, etc, or just generally looks like a squirell.
Ride smooth, straight, and maintain pace.
