Upon trying a pass, you LIGHTLY touch. His body tucks. This is the kind of tap in which, if the leader were also using a regular weight body, there would be no tuck and he could continue on.

What do you do?

A. Do you stop and wait for a marshall to un-tuck his body, and then allow him to continue on in front of you?

or

B. You immediately continue on with the race and take the lead. After all, why should YOU be penalized for the fact HE took the chance by running the lightweight body?
