So would that be allowed in the letter of the rules?

A mechanical incident or crash warrants assistance. Even in WT stage races within the last 3k no GC penalty is given.

That's a really interesting (unfortunate) scenario.

I'd say hella kudos to the teammate for being heads-up, and double kudos to the both of them to drive hard enough to regain a field closing in on the finish.

I'm curious as to whether or not that would be allowed within the "spirit of the rules" if an official protest was made.
