If he fessed up and didn't attempt it again then I'm happy and will leave the finer application of the rules, and spirit of the race, to the judges.
I just wonder if he told the organizers before he started his tale of trying to cheat.
The guy carrying his tracker had a fucked RD hanger I think. But then he finished the race so it can't have been that fucked. I guess some riders are at the end of their tether and will choose to receive penalty or risk DQ rather than sort it and continue later.

Congratulations on the bronze.
