abraham kamffer Posted March 19 Share Hi, hope someone can explain. I've tried looking on the website but I can't find a legend anywhere. Some of the abbreviations I do understand though. Hope someone can explain these to me DNF = did not finish DNS = did not start BR = ?? (broken ribs?) lol IF = ??? instant forfeit? I'm looking at the results and I feel sorry for all those who had to abandon the race, and we're only on stage 2 now. Found explanations: DNF = did not finish DNS = did not start BR = Blue Board Rider IF = Individual Finisher Edited March 19 by abraham kamffer DieselnDust and ChrisF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebra Posted March 19 Share I think Blue Board rider is rider allowed to continue WITHOUT a (withdrawn) partner. Chris Edited March 19 by Zebra Spelling abraham kamffer and ChrisF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Dassie Posted March 20 Share From my experience, a blue board rider is someone who finished outside of cutoff but is allowed to start again the next day. Albeit if they miss the cutoff again, they're out. ChrisF, Zebra, DieselnDust and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to stand around and watch others eat their ice cream abraham kamffer, TeamBaja and Zebra 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in the same head space as you. there are teams riding where one rider is a BR and the other an IF . They’re still riding together but fighting cut off everyday now. The BR is the ball and chain here so is this a selfish situation? should the IF be allowed to ride their own race and complete the course and get the best recovery opportunity? So now the IF is being slowly sink along with the already sunk BR. Sponsored entry so maybe there’s marketing condition that’s applied? every situation is different but I’m in the headspace of giving your team mate the best opportunity to finish Edited March 22 by DieselnDust Skubarra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamBaja Posted April 12 Share Well i had that experience my partner finished outside the time during the 2022 hell. He got the blue board and i had the IF. The thing about that, is that all the epic team rules still apply, starring together, staying together and all that. The person with the blue board must abandon the race so you can truly be a solo rider. We rode together at his pace all 5 days. So i got my finisher medal and he got nothing. abraham kamffer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
