some here are advocating "spread the love" by taking overall winners from the AG ranks. unless there are those AG-ers racing in Elite or Pro waves, i'd say to hell with that. are we talking in snowflake-ese here ? make as many people as possible feel good about themselves and their non-winning performances ?

let's go further and give everyone an award. a participation trophy, as it were.

me, i've never podium-ed, and likely won't until i hit the 80-85 AG..... , but if i did win my AG, i would want to know i won it outright, not because someone who beat me got another award instead. just my opinion.
