I have zero knowledge on bicycle racing but what are the participants like? If there are adults under ~30 involved, ya they should be racing with max intensity. I'm guessing the majority are older guys 30-45, then yeah, they do not want to get hurt. I've had a bad spill on a bike path hauling ass on a vintage road bike. Dried out tires + surprise dusty tarmac and front tire slipped out from under me, gashed my knee. Rode home fine, but 2 days later my knee got sore at fuck and struggled to walk, affecting me at work. Should er arm and elbow took a big impact too and I was really fucked up. This happened when I was ~27.
The old dentists and insurance agents racing in spandex are just having fun. Sorry they just handed you the trophy. Race a faster class or division.
