Please take a look at what happend today in China 15h. Fargas, in the same group as Kowalski, sprinted from 50m while Kowalski was doing tempo yes alone on a +3% km. Kowalski had around 350 power, Fargas around 180. Kowalski was first, Fargas, second... How is that possible? Was it because Fargas could not get into tempo? Or is it a bug? If yes, please relocate the points... It's quite important to Victor

First info: I won´t change the points manually. If it is a bug or not.

Maybe because of the energy he was in front. But should not be, yes. Seems to be a bug.

Please check it.

Anyway, in general it's quite realistic, that a rider riding tempo as fast as he can is faster than a much weaker rider who sprints. Only problem is that this is not RSF standard, as far as I experienced it until yesterday. But it would be good to know if it's a bug that can be fixed or if this will be happening again in future races.

About the points. Me as team manager do not care. But Victor is kind of sad and Tomasz feels bad about it too.

Another question about this situation: If Fargas weren't in tempo, would he have won the sprint then?
