Two years in a row the North American championship in at George was changed by a drafting penalty! I spoke with Sebi last year, and baekgarrd this year and both say it was not what we as experienced riders would feel was drafting or worth a five minute race ending penalty.
I am saying letās push Ironman and usat to add a stop and go penalty as an option for the referees. Leave the 5 minute in but give them a choice to do there job if they feel like they need to, but not ruin the race on these tic tak things.
Sebi and Daniel both say they were cut off and not sucking wheel. But even if they were for a bit to long or have a hill hit were they bunch up, letās let the ref hit them if he has to but not force the ref the to end their race, let the ref decide how bad it was.
Itās crazy that we are all not more mad about this.
