Which part did you want quotes on?
This is the latest (probably) in a string of requests for results based categories. Though I suspect it wasn’t promised since 2017(?) Results/ranking based categories NOW!
The pace and sprint comment was based more on anecdotal feedback from races. People seem to be annoyed at being upgraded on zMAP recently, no one complained about being downgraded the month before. Comments above in this thread have people asking to be able to stay in a lower cat that they can win in.
You can also see it in feedback on enforcing DNFs, RGT (which did enforce DNFs on ranking), and IV. People want to be in with a chance until the end of the race. If a race is hard from the start more people quit. Unlike in real life it is comparatively easy for them to do another race or ride instead of finishing in a small pack/solo.
