You do not have to pay for the unexpected extra lap you did. J

Running the lapboard tonight was challenging with the passing of fields. For
your own enlightenment I am including rules about passing fields

15.1.3 Field passing

Should a field catch another field of racers that started separately (except
in a Handicap Race) the slower field will slow and ride at a neutral speed
as soon as practical after they are caught by the faster field or its lead
car to allow the faster field to pass. They will then continue to ride at a
neutral slowed pace until the faster field is 300 meters ahead or until they
are released by an official attending their race. The field being passed
will stay to the far right of the road allowing room for the passing field
unless instructed by an official otherwise. Passes will not occur in the
final 2 kilometers of a race. Riders will not pass unless there is clear
space to pass subject to rule 15.1.2.

At no time can riders from one field ride in another field.

The golden rule, is that the bell rules. If the bell rings then the next lap
is a sprint.

Thank you for your suggestions and we will attempt to do better in the
future.
