Puncture in middle of nowhere, pump brakes, non racing cyclist passes by and asks are you ok, ends up lending you the pump.

I took 'rider' to mean another competitor. If you ask another competitor for help you have crossed a line.

If it is unsolicited help from a passer by, I would feel that was ok. Tbh if I was stuck with a broken pump and a random person rode past, especially somewhere remote like the nullarbor, I would flag them down and ask to borrow their pump. If it was another competitor I would recognise I'd be scratching by using their pump as I'd be delaying their ride.

Franks right. Rider means racer in the context.

Bad practice to have questions which need context and have ambiguity in wording. I felt like this year in the TCR application there was a lot of that, which made it more difficult than it needed to be.
