Hate those lap out rules - if you run tyres that can't survive a race, tough shit. Riders that don't have spares shouldn't be at a disadvantage to those that do.
I did wonder, what if it was shit positioning or handling that caused a mechanical like a puncture. Makes me think back to Sagan getting multiple punctures in an olympic XC race I think it was?
