Damnit, Greg White. Every time I hear the term "side-by-side" I instinctively flinch and brace for the next "by-side". PTSD.
I think I'd just ridden behind Eslick 'til the last lap, unless he thinks he can pull away since he ran him down, although Eslick was probably running somewhat conservative.
Which is why I'm going Eslick, he's having a blast just riding around and turning the times to lead the race.
Would not want to be a lapper in the middle of those two. Bet they are having a blast giggling in their helmets.
