So if nobody deliberately rode the handicap race and it was actually the fastest time of the slowest rider, that rider would stay around the back of the field away from position points and the handicap points would be relevant to all the 20 riders in front of him/her being fair for all.

Thus shrinking the field points tally fairly and evenly



Instead people are racing the handicap race doing their best to get the 25 handicap points and then climbing their way up grid, scoring decent position points in the later racers and trying to claim trophies at the end of the day

Thus making it all confusing, screwing over everybody in the field and making everything a dogs breakfast

If you're in it for the championship, you'd be nuts not to try and maximise your points haul. And with an additional 25 points on offer, not trying to win the handicap too would be like going out in a race and riding at 6 tenths, dawdling around and not caring where you finish. That's not why you go racing, right?
