@icramer As ph4nt0m said, he's allowed to pull off the line if he cannot keep pace since the final time is measured by the third cyclist. You can see at around 4:20 the team starts to sprawl out to sling the third rider forwards.

You can imagine the guy who pulled off from the line as a rabbit maybe setting the pace - typical for milers on a 400m track going for a sub 4.

@icramer 4th rider is allowed to do that in the Team pursuit.

[icramer]

Can anyone explain why the 4th rider peeled off and never came back at 3:27?
