Yes thats true and why it should be qualifying starting order no matter who you are ,

how is the seeding order worked out ???

from the information they have from last year ? or from the information given from a newcomers record of club races , now all that info is totally out of date on the run up to the event a rider and or team will have bought new bikes or upgraded what they have to try and have a better chance of doing well or better than before while other riders that had similar times and are just happy to be there by the skin of their credit card with the same gear as last time just a bit more gaffer tape and a few more cable ties , so having the effect of making it that they should be starting way apart not with each other , now the most up to date information to use to work out start order is what the rider/ bike combination is putting up in the practices on the run up to the race , just as it is in any other event anywhere in the world , and why do they do that everywhere ?? because it is the fairest and SAFEST way to do it simple as that , if a rider is having a tough time well tough thats life thats racing , a cruel world , ask the relatives of those that paid the ultimate price
