I sent a message off to the Chief Official about pulling lapped riders at
the upcoming National Championships. Her answer is below. Her response is
addressed regarding the masters women field but can be taken for the other
fields also
Candi
It will not be my intention to pull riders in your race. Your field should
be small enough so we can accurately keep track of all riders for the
results. What I will mention in my instructions on the line is that riders
who are out of contention or lapped will be allowed to finish the race as
long as they are not interferring with or impeding the progress of the
leaders. The course and course conditions may cause me to change my mind
because my main concerns will be that the race is safe and fair for all
competitors but it is highly unlikely I will change my mind. Lapped riders
do finish on the same lap as the leader and what I may do is ask any riders
who are lapped not to cross the finish line on the final lap to avoid
having lapped riders in the finish photos with the race leaders but they
will be placed in the results accordingly. I will try to have an official
stand at a particular spot to deviate any riders off the course before the
finish line if I can. Once I see the course I will know if this is a
possibility.
Look forward to seeing you in Portland. If you have any other concerns feel
free to contact me.
