the organiser apparently swore blind that it was the result of "pulling the numbers out of a hat" which is, of course, a complete lie
They did pull the numbers out of a hat, it's just that only selected numbers were ever put in the hat :-)

Steve asked and the guy said it was the result of putting all the non DNS numbers into a hat and pulling them out, how weird to say that when it's obviously not the case, nor would anyone complain either.
In championship events it's explicit that it's top riders (eg 3 from the top 5) plus a few randoms, and that's of course totally fine.

I was there, Jess won the women's with an insane negative split after being 7min down at halfway.
Dope testing for Perry, Irwin, Bideau - the organiser apparently swore blind that it was the result of "pulling the numbers out of a hat" which is, of course, a complete lie. Good to see them there though - 3-4 others got tested too.
