This is very frustrating and I've had it happen in a lot of races recently. People riding side by side having a conversation during the race. Usually sitting up and wearing an aero helmet. As I tell my wife, there are some people who should NEVER be on the left, but they will ride there (very slowly) and then block the entire time. I guess they think if they stay there, people will just go around them and they don't have to do much weaving in and out of traffic.......though. most of the time, they are going so slow that they are not passing anyone where they would have to weave in and out.
Sort of like 1/2 the population drives on the highway? Just sit in the left lane and make everyone else weave around you, why should we expect anything different in a race?
Some random guy yelled at me at IMNC for passing him on the right, while he was hugging the center line with no one else around. (before I get flamed, he was going very slow, and yelling "on your left" ahead of the pass, I would have had to slow down significantly to give him time to get over).
