I’ve not heard anything besides the above.
If they wanted to do that why enter a race why not just tour it? Like I said think it undermines it in my opinion, slightly disrespectful to other riders.

Ah, in terms of possibly taking away a place from someone who wanted to race it but didn't get a place?
Possibly, but where do you draw the line with those arguments. If the Taco Bell detour guy doesn't come last does it mean that the person behind was also depriving someone of a place to race it? What about all of the people that entered knowing they probably won't likely finish it? That's a particularly slippery slope - best not going there.

Why?
It was a 140 mile detour, it cost him a huge amount of time.
Do we know what the real purpose was? (I doubt it was to visit that particular Taco Bell.)
