Not necessarily. If the sprint causes the biggest posts and comments of the month to occur, then those will change people's ranks.

The scoring system is extremely non-linear. Having the top post/comment matters a lot, plus that would mean all other posts from throughout the month will become worth less, because their ranks are being reduced.
Also, zapping the top posts/comments early matters a lot. So, if those posts/comments haven't happened yet, then neither have the early zaps on them.

it’s not 30 races…. it’s one long race where a competitor can join at any time?
That's my understanding. It's a pretty different game when you think about it. It will reward different people.
