The lanes would demonstrate deviation, making that action clear. Then the commissaires have to decide if the rider obstructed or endangered in their movement.
You’re allowed to deviate, but not if it obstructs or endangers.
So the argument for DVB here is that he didn’t deviate; or if he did, his deviation didn’t obstruct or endanger. Hard case to make IMO.

I hear you just genuinely trying to think it through aloud.
Sprinting is a mad man’s game and I don’t think there’s much that can be done about it. I also don’t know how we expect riders to know exactly where everyone is and what’s going on.
Not sure lines would clear this up though. We can see DVB deviates without the lines, but there’s still a judgement call to make regardless.

Re painted lines, if you’re on someones wheel and going faster, how are you then supposed to get round them?
