I agree that it should have been penalised in 2016 as well. As far as I can see it was illegal then.
Crossing an illegal border is far worse than riding down a quiet bit of motorway that is widely used by locals. I think it should be disqualification. Mike / others seem to have a bit of a blind spot about this.
I was hoping they would make a statement on it being banned before the event, as I wasn't that keen on losing half a day to people using it, but a hefty penalty just about redresses it.
