Personally I think Tezuka just likes watching people run laps :-) LOL
My opinion of Momo and Ryoma's match...Momo could tell himself that he was losing only because of his injured ankle...right up until he discovered that the kid who was beating him was doing so with his off-hand. He called off the match then to avoid having these new first years see an unknown beat a Regular. As the series progresses I will undoubtedly bring up how fragile Seigaku's moral was at times...a loss like that could have cost Momo his spot on the regulars and lowered the opinion of the Team. Of course, we the readers know that his loss was because that's the star, but the other characters don't :-)
