• Yeah but he didn't make the time cuts so he's out of the race anyway.

    Just checked the Rules and there is nothing about that whatsoever. Indeed, after CPs have closed (including the finish) aren't brevit cards stamped in the hotel/bar at that location?

    frrt is showing Neil as being inactive for two days but trackleaders is showing him up and running and closing in on the Croatian border.

  • Sorry, he's out of GC (which is what I consider to be 'the race'), so technically still in the race but will be listed in whatever the other list is called. Assuming he finishes before they publish the final results!

    "Riders will qualify for Solo or Pairs general classification if:

    1. They begin and finish the race under the same classification (solo or pair)
    2. They remain self-sufficient for the entire duration of their ride
    3. They validate at controls within the time of operation"

    "Riders who do not validate at controls within their designated times of operation by definition lose contact with the validation procedure provided by the event. Transcontinental does not operate a ‘cut-off’ for these riders by which they are not included in the event listings but also cannot provide basic contact to give even the minimum assistance at controls. Therefore the requirements for self sufficiency are relaxed for these individuals and they are permitted to find outside assistance
    should they need it. Similarly riders in this category are not held to the same degree of scrutiny as category finishers therefor penalties are not added and an official race time (D // H // M) is not awarded. However, with regards to rider safety the following still applies: In the event a rider is found to have broken, bent or attempted to circumvent the rules in order to gain an advantage, or has been found to have unintentionally done so with potentially serious consequences, the race administration will act, violations will be taken on a case by case basis."
