As a trackie you are not required to operate your machine outdoors at all, certainly not on wet roads under any circumstances.
You are absolved by ancient custom from knowing what a mudguard is or why they are called that.
For background "Captain Fast" has not and never will compete in any sanctioned cycling event yet is an "expert" on every aspect of bicycle racing.
Just ask him in the 41.
