If there's a sprint after a great race, most people* are fine with that. Geelong was a great race in my opinion. So are many MSR's that end in a small group sprint. It's just a sprint is very unlikely in a properly raced LBL.
Well, if the break suddenly collapses and it's then a group ride without a single attack until the sprint, it's a bad race. So it's good so far, but not enough to guarantee that it's a good race.
