Rick,
Read it even more carefully than that, it is 1/2 races.
a cat 1 doing pir in the 1/2/3 field is not doing a 1/2 race.
being a technical jerk sometimes, I could even argue that the rule, as written, would not apply in a pro/1/2 race, but then some smarty pants would show me that OBRA doesn't have a pro category.

Read carefully, the ruling applies to Cat 1/2 riders.
I think that is an important distinction.

Three, I said it was a good idea all along. Arthur C. Clarke

I think it's a good ruling. The reality is that most of us are privateers and team kits change from year to year for a lot of teams. A rider may only have one of the new jerseys and it may not be appropriate for the weather. Besides, that same rider could wear a blank jersey and be working for the team.
