Block. That is a different play.

That is entirely different than B2, trying to stay with A2 and falling, then A1, coming along later and well after B2 fell, tripping over B2.

B2 doesn't have LGP, but B2 doesn't need it when they were there "first".

Conceptially, it could be thought of as if B2 is always allowed a spot if they give time/distance even if they don't have LGP. But, if they do have LGP, they don't need to give time/distance. (not explicit in the rules but basically what the cases and rules around these situations resemble)
