Reginald Braithwaite has some interesting comments on Twitter: https://twitter.com/raganwald/status/1102966537869094913

Basically, in his experience being on a bike amongst the support vehicles isn’t a problem; what is likely to be a problem is if the leader of the second race catches up with the first race and gains an unfair advantage from slipstreaming with the earlier riders, negating the usual disadvantage of breaking away from the peloton.

I guess that would apply regardless of the rider categories if the two races.

It was the slipstreaming I was thinking of and, as the issues of unfair advantage for the front rider in the second race would be the same, wondering whether changing the competitors might illuminate what the right course of action was - once the organisers had made the original error in separation.
