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.

the ability of both riders is way different...................

rider b is a thinking rider. rider a just goes out and pushes without thinking.

they were both aware there were 3 races that day but chose a different strategy. you dont have to win everything to come first in a series. look at how some world champions have ridden in the past. happy to take 2nd or third in the knowledge that to try and push for first is foolhardy.
