johannrissik Posted June 13, 2017 Share I'm interested to know if the guys who took the "shortcut" (unintentionally, I guess) were penalised.As I understand things, if you go off-route (for whatever reason) and gain a time advantage, you get a time penalty.Can anyone clarify yesterday's incident for me please?

dirtrider Posted June 13, 2017 Share It looked to me like they did gain some time by going the alternative route . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit. It does look like it may be shorter/quicker and worth a recce if it is allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtbee Posted June 13, 2017 Share Sjoe... that rigid is a very brave call. Hard to question a guy like him thoughSaw them off in PMB this morning. Alex is riding a Lauf fork upfront and set off without a backpack and with tri-bars. Looks like he will be pushing the limits. He was in full aero position on the tar crossing at THornville at 7:02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look like it may be shorter/quicker and worth a recce if it is allowed.There is no mention of OOB in either the current narrative or the Race Booklet, so that is not an issue in my opinion.The issue is whether the riders gained a time advantage, for which they should be penalised (whoever they are). Failing to penalise transgressions sets a precedent.It's not an easy call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read last nights report and nothing was mentioned.They definitely did get a time advantage. Maybe tweet the RO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
