Those guys were El Spookimundo.
But still your fault for being behind them. If you get gapped in a race because you're behind the slow guys that's because you're at the back. Try to stay near the front. Easier said than done, but focus on that in races and you'll realize how important it can be. The slower you are, the more critical that becomes. Trust me on this, I know a thing or two about riding with faster guys (because anyone that races is generally faster than I am).

Nice.
I can identify with the big guy thinking he's small.

I must confess when I meet some of my 41 Stalkers, it makes me feel like a Road Nazi. The illusion never lasts. Still, I did enjoy the TT and the crit I did this month. One more race next weekend, with the 35+ boys. That will really shatter my delusions.

The riders that finished in front of him on those occasions were a 9 year-old boy with leprousy and a 15 year-old girl on a full suspension Pacific.

Thanks guys, I know I already posted earlier the the race reports and twitter thread but I finally got all the pics that were taken of the finish so I figured I'd post here as well.
