"On the whole riders should approach the race as if they were taking a completely solo trip across Europe, as if there were no race, as if there were no other riders and as if there were no contact with the people at home. In short they should do things for themselves."
Yes, I have no qualms with the answer when you know the rider is a racer. Always easier to answer the question when you've seen the answer!

The race manual is also clear:
"Should any rider receive outside assistance from another rider in the race then this is classed as an assisted finish. These two riders will effectively become a pair and will receive the time at which both of their Brevet Cards have been stamped"
