Yes, and I rode a flat circuit race in a pack with a US pro rider who was on a three speed just to make a point -- until he got kicked out for riding a three speed. It was good he got kicked out, because he would have crushed me in the sprint.

Why'd he get kicked out for riding a 3 speed? Was it the handlebar?
I don't know and haven't looked at the rules. It could have been the ringy-bell. He probably just ****ed-off the district rep who was (and is) a character herself. It was at weekly race at the local racetrack with a giant pack. You can just sit in the middle and get pulled around. That was the point he was making.
