I didn't realise that people arriving at CPs after they've closed are effectively out of the race--able to record a finishing time at the end but not in the classification any more.
This was introduced in TCR5 / 2017. Prior to that all finishers were classified, provided they complied with rules and completed route.
It turns out Björn knows Fiona, and they're both from Dresden:

I didn't realise that people arriving at CPs after they've closed are effectively out of the race--able to record a finishing time at the end but not in the classification any more. I probably should have noticed before whether that's been the case in previous years, and maybe I've just forgotten.
