must say the popular complaint amongst spectators is the start numbers issue
i too would like to see them atart in numerical order then you can judge for yourself who is gaining or dropping down the order
programs might get messed up or some faster in practice might start behind slower riders but if the inital seeding order was correct there shouldnt be a problem
after all any off the top 20 could have a machine problem that slowed them there for all behind would be faster ?
