I see post like this a lot so I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. Around here we pick a spot and allow the faster rider to pass
when he ask for it. It's not good for either rider to fight for a pass and have one or both riders go down and possibly dnf or
worse. Some times this really pays off a few miles later when you catch the guy that you previously allowed to pass and
it's your turn to ask him for track. Race your own race, pass when you catch somebody, allow others to pass when they
catch you, and if you are fastest you will win.
