I’m not sure the organiser would or even could intervene. How would you see them doing that?
And that is essentially the crux of the problem for me, they had to live with the situation on the road. There are lots of activities that should be reported in wider society and generally we work to remove those barriers, not blame the victim.

If that person had followed the instructions in the race manual and sent the orgs a message along the lines of "this rider keeps stopping and waiting for me, I don't like it" the orgs could've intervened. Instead they did nothing and were presumably DQd when they arrived at the finish.
Also, how does that even work when they're on presumably different routes? Sure on a main roads you probably aren't going to vary that much but every time I've raced I've seen feck all other riders.
