Where Johnny had a suspicion that the bloke in front had a GPS, is purely down to honesty then.
It really is nonsense, what is one meant to do if you see somebody in front checking a watch? You know what you are doing and can easily get around the course yourself, but you end up following him becasue it is easier, should you be disqualfied? How do you "unsee" him checking it.
