Did you maybe mix up your boards when puttin them on the bike?

What I find interesting is the number of riders disqualified for "starting early". Can there be so many people who do that?

Strange!!Lot's of the 35km riders took a short cut!!When I finished,I specifically watched the finish line,and nobody was close,yet the guy behind me in terms of the results,was only a second off

no, i was in group E and he was in F

 

That means he started 5 minutes behind you, and actually beaten you by 2 minutes. 16 other people could have come in in that 2 minutes.

 

So, its entirely possible.

Usually when someone crosses the finish line before someone else, your position should be lower than the person who finishes 3 minutes after you

[zaShadow]

He's starting time was 5 mins after you. So, if you crossed the finish line 3 mins before him, he rode 2 mins faster than you.

 

Each group's starting time only start when they are allowed to go, thus spreading the field (less bottlenecks at single track).

 

This means that if I have a sprint finish with a guy and just beat him at the line, if his starting group was after mine, he would have beaten me with at least 5 mins.
