This is how USA Cycling does it.

If you are OTB and the official can tell you won't catch the pack, it's the whistle and the pull. That could be on the 2nd or 3rd lap. Not very much fun, that could be $10/lap.

I don't want to pull riders. I also don't want the OTB riders impeding the lead group or become a liability. We stopped at 15 as about 10 lapped riders (up to two laps down) came across at the finish with the riders who were in the top 20. It would take a lot of time to sort you out.

We are working on resolving the large field. Even with 75 riders max you probably won't see results past 25 or so.

How about this, you all come across single file and don't lap anyone. This has been Candi's request for years.

My first year of racing, I didn't see myself in the results until the second year. Make it a goal and we make ours. We are doing our best. Believe us.

Sorry that someone made you feel unimportant.
