Can You Believe This?

Jon, not wanting to unpack his time trial bike (see large box pictured
below) decided to just roll through the time trial on his road bike...
saving himself for later stages. After all, the race bible, pictured
below, clearly says time cuts will not be applied to time trials.

Well, Jon showed up for the crit this evening and was told he was not
allowed to race because he didn't make the time cut in the time trial.
What about the race bible? Well in a comminque that was not posted to
the website they made a last minute decision to enact a time cut. 10
elite men were screw-barred out of the race. Comments? Notes of
sympathy for Jon?
