A maybe new sprint bug, or one that I hadn't seen until the last 2 days?

LOTS of riders in the peloton not appearing in the sprint.
But in fact they seem to sprint, just in their own little group at the end of the peloton...
In todays race, 31.08.,Harzer Roller, 18h

place 1-29 sprint as planned.
30-63 are the non sprinters
64-76 are the sprinters that sprint in the back of the peloton.

Yesterday at 15h the same, probably with more "back of peloton sprinters".

Who doesn't sprint seems to be pretty random to be. Some top sprinter, some semi dead helpers, a bit of everything to be found there.

I sprinted only with two, Costa and Sini.

Sini was ok.

Costa didn-t sprint, he was making tempo at last km, maybe it is that old bug.

Anyway strange

No no, ATB, you said maximum riders
Mmh, another multi? Buh and ATB, maybe they are even PTT! I'll keep an eye on you!

But seems to be the same problem... never really noticed it before.

All riders should sprint. Was it a sprint with many riders? If there were many much better riders it could be possible that your weakest riders don´t sprint.

is what Buh said...
Not the weakest are the ones that don't sprint, but pretty random it seems. Today only 42 guys wanted to sprint too, had sprints with much more, still 13 didn't it seems. Those behind Costa.

Mmmm... so Costa won the not visible sprint!!!

I want money and a prize for this!

This is of course bad...does it happen sometimes that good sprinters (in flat) don´t sprint?

What is good sprinters in flat?
NOrmal sprinters or sprinters with flat??
Normal good sprinters yes. 2 days in a row some 90+ sprinters didn't participate. Don't remember what the last km was though.

With "in flat" i mean only normal sprint races. If there is a 12% at the end it is hard to see if this is a bug. But if there a 90+ sprinters in a flat finish, which don´t participate the, that´s a problem.

But if you prefer we can maybe call it feature?

yo, 20h britain. some riders missing in the sprint.
my sherif zidan was following andrea russo (team hunsrueck), who was also not in the sprint.

Russo`s sprint war eingestellt, dreimal kontrolliert. Mitgehen bei und helfen für Dillon. Hat einfach nicht gesprintet!

Russo's sprint was set checked three times. Go along and help with Dillon. Just did not sprinting!

Mitgehen bei wem? Niemanden? Frage nur, um dem Problem auf den Grund gehen zu können.

Okay, i found the raison: These riders would be so far away from the first rider, that they are removed from the sprint complely. This could happen if there is such a long line as you see in this race. I change it, that these riders would be in the sprint next time anyway. But of course, they won´t have a big chance to win...
Could this be a raison for many other bugs where riders have not sprinted?
