Well, yes and no.

Think of it this way:

Race 1 : Rider A comes 1st, Rider B comes 2nd
Race 2 : Rider B comes 1st, Rider A comes 2nd
Race 3 : n/a
Outcome : Rider A and Rider B are equal 1st

OR

Race 1: Rider A was winning, bins it. Rider B defaults 1st.
Race 2: Rider A can't race. Rider B comes 1st.
Race 3: Rider A can't race. Rider B comes 1st.
Outcome : Rider A has zero points, Rider B has 105.

The ability of both riders is no different between the two, except Rider A has a DNF in Race 1.
