Well in that case, it would make sense to jack on the brakes when you see a waving yellow, riders will all go by as you putt around, they will all be docked a lap, and you'll win the race.
Extreme example, but you see my point. The rule as written does not convey the intent, I don't think.
Disagree... If a rider is down in the middle of the track over the blind hill, they should/would be waving the red flag, not the yellow flag.

You guys are taking this to ilogical conclusions
How it works.
Corner worker calls in a passing under waving yellow and rider(s) number recordeded.
Referee then talks to rider for input and may even go back to corner workers for further clarification.
Then makes a decision.
Results are not final until after an officals meeting Monday night so there's ample time for followup and discussions with all

As long as we are playing extreme hypotheticals, I respectfully submit that a rider engaging in that sort of conduct would likely not win the race, but rather be shown the meat ball flag and fall within the purview of Rule 14.2.6:
14.2.6.
Black Flag with an orange circle (the meat ball flag): This flag may be used for any situation other than a safety violation.
14.2.6.1.
The rider should complete the current lap and report directly to an official on pit road.
14.2.6.2.
The flag will be used whenever the Starter or Course Marshall decides that the rider needs a talking to or to advise him that he or she will be disqualified.

Anyways, doesn't matter, I'm not racing now.
Point is, if someone backs off a significant amount, I don't think a large effort should have to be made to avoid passing them. I don't think you should TRY to pass anyone under a waving yellow, obviously.

if you're gonna crash do it on the last lap before being lapped while everyone behind you has been lapped. that way you don't have to do another lap but you get to keep your position.

I suppose since this is a race report I'll mention I had my best ever Amateur finish. 2nd in GTU

Most crashes go to a Yellow flag first, so even if it ends up being a Red - there is usually a period of time that riders will go past the yellow.
My point was simply to get people to not assume a waving yellow in 5 means a crash in 6. Or more generally - if you see a waving yellow and don't see the incident - you should be hyper aware and bring your speed to a level that you can deal with virtually anything that's around the corner/hill, etc.
Better to lose a spot - or a lead - than the alternative. We all need to remember that in the end we're racing for a $5 medal that won't mean a thing a day/week/year later.
