I'm pretty new to watching racing, so it was interesting to see 3D7 used at the recent Masters Nationals. I can't remember what age category it was, but the race had broken into three groups. A few guys(might have been three)* as the main break, a dozen or so as a chase, and then the peleton. Because the course was an oval only a little more than .5 miles long, the peleton(probably 60% of the field) was going to really impact the race. The officials ended up having the pack sprint with a good number of laps left -- 15 or 20. Seemed difficult to coordinate and seemed like a few people were not too happy with the decision.
*Details as best as I remember, as it was a full day of crits.
