It has always been my thought that you can only sprint for points if you

are

 on the same lap. Once you get dropped you keep your points but can no

longer sprint with the group and must hang out at the back.



I see nothing wrong with this and as long as people don't sit out and then

sprint again there isn't a problem. Of course the enforcing of the rules

has to come from the riders as even if we said zero points for not

finishing

 and the pack at 70-100 riders at times who could tell if a rider finished

or

 not. Basically then only riders in contention would be spotted and minor

riders would likely get away with it, maybe that is ok.



Basically I have no problem with riders keeping there points when dropped,

that is why the finish is worth so much more. Just be honest and do not

sprint or lead out your teammates at the end. I guess having an official

car would not be that bad, but would require extra effort for just a

tuesday

 training race.



just my 2 cents
