To reenforce what Steven posted; This rule has been as it stands for eons
and is the same as the ³rest of the world² of crit racing. Better to leave
it as it stands.

Our crit rule is the same as USAC crit rule regarding lapped riders. I think
changing this rule would be a bad idea, both because the rule makes sense
for crit racing and it makes it so we don't have a rule discrepancy that
could cause major confusion for our of town riders. Think of it this way, If
one or two riders lap the field (all other riders are down a lap), do all
the other riders not get to contest the sprint for the rest of the places?
If riders getting lapped and riding dangerously in the field is a concern,
the official can just pull the rider that was lapped (15.4.3).
