Starting from the Rail

 

Novice riders should be instructed to drop down on to the apron before entering turn 1.  A common mistake is staying on the track at too slow a speed and crashing, bringing down everyone behind you.  They should also be warned not to go to the rail ahead of the start/finish line.  There is too great a risk of clipping a pedal when proceeding down track in that position.
