Terms that are used in a race

[velofanat]

Some judges on a finish line have told " #84 has clipped #85" (##'s are not real --HIPPA). Can anybody explain what that mean? The race was a criterium if it is important.

Well, I am going to take a guess... when someone clips someone .... doesn't they mean that they *hit* them in some manner with their *vehicle*. Maybe one cyclists clipped the other one with his/her bike?

Or maybe they were just saying that the guy/gal got clipped into his/her pedals? :p

Yeah, I'm with KSH --- particularly in a Cri ... you would be very likely to touch someone elses shoulder or tap wheels ... I think this is what clipping would mean in this situation
