Any attempt to factor in the wind is going to be a **** show - winds can shift quickly, gust erratically and terrain can make the effects very localized; yesterday, I saw two flags, about 100 yards apart, flying in different directions because of their surroundings. Docking people because there was supposedly a fair wind or giving others credit because there was supposedly a foul wind? Yeah, people ain't going to go for that.

Trying to do that would also set an unfavorable precedent. What would be next? Docking/rewarding based upon group vs solo? Bonuses for fatter tires or heavier bikes? No, just no.

As it is, everybody understands that wind is a part of the game and that, if they really want a crack at it, they need to work with the conditions, just like everybody else.
