So at 35 seconds you had an out and back and the field was coming back on what looked like a bike path or narrow road. And rather than going to the turn… the field in the back of the race, including the person with video, just cuts through and drops in on people coming back at them.
Like you said, maybe not explicitly mentioned and probably not marked but they are literally making the course shorter. So if it’s legal why not cut much sooner in front of the leaders who went all the way to the turn around?
