Someone with the same artistic skills as me Scorpa3 but it looks like it shows exactly what happened. The riders have done nothing wrong. I don't really see this as taking the mickey out of the rules. It's the riders job to find these lines - I think it's a fairly simple mistake from the clerk of the course - Martin Lampkin would be gutted if he'd left that hole there. They spend hours looking at where almost every gate needs to go. The Spanish Clerk of the Course will be just as gutted i'd imagine.

Couldn't agree more

Reading the reports about the event, the bad weather caused section problems so they had to do last minute changes, so some of the sneak lines could be a result of that, still isn't like the winner dropped no points is it.

On the other hand looking at Caby's ride in this picture, one minder only allowed in the section, looks like some of the other team members jumped in to do a few last minute changes of thier own.

The observer's fived Raga in section 8 as a result of his minder doing a bit of gardening. Ironically he went on to five the section anyway.

Was that a Spanish observer giving Raga a 5 for gardening his home soil? - WOW!
