Sure if there's some decisive course feature it can bring clarity, but often in a long RR I've found myself scratching my head as to what unfolds.
flat RRs are garbage and rolls of the dice. 10 strongest guys can go up the road, get pulled back by 90 in the pack then a counter of random dudes go and it stays away. Else, come together with 75 of your best friends on 15'-wide of broken pavement and sprint it out. hope you're on the best lead-out train of the 4 sharing the road simultaneously.

Anyway, I hate them. A little terrain to sort the wheat from the chaff is much easier to read.
