Ok.
I may repost the slightly revised rules later so that it doesn't get lost in pages of banter, but here's my proposal based on this morning's discussion:
Times as follows for the teams:
D @ 19:00
C @ 19:03
B @ 19:06
A @ 19:09
We'll race from the Meet Up spawn point rather than the first time we pass under that start/finish arch (about 0.4 to 0.5 kms down the road). The race finishes when we pass under under the start/finish arch the second time.
Every team finishes their race when their 3rd fastest rider crosses the line. Hopefully, it will be clear on the screen what the finishing order is, but if there is any dispute, we''ll use this Strava segment to decide the finishing order, based on the time of the 3rd fastest rider for each team

Note that the segment start and finishes at the arch, so there is a slight discrepancy here, but its the best I can do!
If a team is about to be overtaken, they must yield and not try to tag on to the overtaking team. The overtaken team have to allow the overtaking team to pass and get enough of a gap so that they can't be drafted. Once that is done, the overtaken team can push on again.
This rule applies until the final sprint point about 2kms from the finishing line. From there, no yielding is required and both teams may ride head to head.
All agreed?
