Apparently there is a great skill in composing the field to avoid this, the slowest (you have to give your best time on the entry
form)

riders are given a 9/4 number so the fast boys/girls (ending in

will go straight past, but on longer rides it gets more difficult.
Don't you just split the field in 5, and do 0,1,2,3,4 from faster to slower (ditto 5,6,7,8,9). Except with the first 0 moved to the last position.
Something like that but I have heard winges in the past about fields not being spread correctly. The 0's are always faster than the 5's though. I assume anyone with no previous time is always given a 9.

We rarely had to concern ourselves with such niceties - as a tandem being set off behind a bunch of (even more) oddballs on solo and tandem trikes we usually had plenty of rabbits to chase down!
