Yeah #252!
Some of you may think....I can read that (ie) upside number just fine....why complain when it is clear? Well, the camera can stop one image at a time but the majority of the scoring is done, preferably, at the time of the race and by the score keepers. Candi has to stay up late when the score keepers missed the number(s) because multiple riders were passing them at the same time and the 'unreadable' number(s) get skipped.
I would venture to say that most racers would like to be scored properly....how about proper number placement!

PS. Any official at a race would be happy to help 'fix' your number. Remember "under the armpit" works great. Just ask!
