This is my personal view on the subject:
I think if a rider is dropped and lapped by the field they should be taken out of the race. Period.
If they have a mechanical issue then they should be allowed to rejoin, but no other reason.
There are a number of riders who always turn out for races but NEVER training sessions, these riders are known to drop off the back of most races very quickly as they are simply not fit or strong enough, how is that helping? because they do the same thing every year and never improve.
