Most races are usually to a predetermined speed or as you said finish line. Now, they would have to prove that the race was set up this way. There is talk that it was set up online, now i cant see it being more than hey ill 40 roll your ass this year. I would suspect they were friends otherwise they wouldnt be out together. This could of been just friends out riding together. I would think that they would need to prove that this was an intentional race and this is where there case has a weakness.
