The fines aren't small, especially when they accumulate over a race. A DQ would for for prolonged 'wrong-sidedness'??? The amazing Barndogg wouldn't have been the only one fined....just look at the video! 
In track, a relegation or DQ is accompanied with an explaination in the results. Eg, in an epic sprint enounter between but Stu and an interstate interloper at the 2009 masters state titles for 3rd place and a bronze state medal:
Stuart CLEMENT Port Adelaide C.C. vs Robert DEVOLLE Preston Cycling Club Inc
Round 1 DEVOLLE 14.684sec
Rider 16 Robert DEVOLLE (Preston Cycling Club Inc) relegated in round 1 for not having held his line during the last 200 metres of the race
In major road races, results are often published with the accompanying fines, eg: Mario Cipollini being fined every day of the 1997 tour for wearing different coloured shorts each day (none being part of team uniform). 
Do you think the local road race results should show who has been fined or relegated, and details of the offence?

I'm sure there's a typo there somewhere - was it a missing "t"?

Sounds reasonable to me.

| I seem to recall 10 or 12 years ago, that there was a serious attempt by the Police to ban all road racing in South Australia. This was, I believe, mainly due to "over the line" infringements. I think we need to think a bit further than winning a few bucks and a place in a local bike race. Think about the future of cycling in South Australia. |

I agree. We are very lucky to be able to race on open roads and it would really suck to lose that privilege. Perfectly fair to disqualify riders and fine them for centreline infractions, particularly if they've been warned already.
Gemma - I can't see a problem with listing DQFs/relegations and the reason - e.g. "Daniel Searson - relegated - took shortcut twice"

As great as the Vic Park circuit is, it would be somewhat disappointing to have to ride that circuit all year round due to banning of road racing. The col de Vic Park isn't that challenging.
On another note, did the Officials turn a blind eye to the sprints? Was anyone relegated for sprinting on the wrong side of the road? |

Did you have to remind me of that? 
The race result hurts as does the debacle at the medalling to some degree but the tremendous support from clubmates and bikemates put all that in perspective and the memory will linger for a very long time.
