Divert outsiders in race, twice entertaining public (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reroute

'divert' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'outsiders in race twice entertaining public' is the wordplay.
'outsiders in' suggests removing the centre.
'twice' says to double the letters.
'entertaining' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inviting in, as for dinner).
'public' becomes 'out' (out can mean released to the public).
'race' with its centre taken out is 're'.
're' duplicated is 'rere'.
'rere' placed around 'out' is 'REROUTE'.

(Other definitions for reroute that I've seen before include "Send another way" , "Divert" , "Send in alternative direction" , "Change direction" , "Change directions" .)
