Jordan Staples

1) involved in a mishap/crash
2) puncture during the race

Things that do not warrant free laps

1) being stuck behind a crash
2) having to slow down to avoid a crash
3) dropped chain

It came to my attention that this weekend we had a few people who managed to get free laps yet were not in a wreck or had a puncture. While it may seem unfair to not get a lap for being held up those are the rules and sadly it can give riders with no mechanical failure and advantage over those racing the same event. There are plenty more examples but these few are just the easiest to recognize for most racers and new officials.
