you are the leader and eligible for points until you take pace and shelter from the filed you are catching.

it is possible to hang off the back, get the bell, win the 1st place points, then catch the filed and still fight for 2nd place too!

so to answer your question, if you have joined the field the front of the field is the front of the race.

For example:
Rider off the front, lapping the field, gets the bell for the 5 lap sprint, then completes lapping the field before coming to the line with 5 to go. Does the rider get the points for winning the sprint? Or does the rider need to remain solo until after the line with 5 to go?

Thanks,
