Yes, they whizz while whizzing by. They ride slower while whizzing since they only have one hand on the handlebars. Sometimes they have a teammate riding next to them on the whizz-free side helping them stay upright. Lol. 

I can't even tell you how women handle this. Their races aren't as long as the men's races are so maybe they're across the finish line before it becomes a problem. 

Also can't tell you about racing in the UK since all of the races are in Europe.
