Yes, this is often the best reason to develop speed and make it a race. The object isn't to win, but to close a gap come in a close second. (which is winning in it's own right).
Fact is that all my cycling life, I've been a rabbit dog. I can't resist chasing down and catching riders I see in the distance. It isn't about winning, it's about catching up, meeting people and maybe enjoying good conversations for a while.
