Conduct of riders 2.2.025
Riders may not jettison food, bonk-bags, feeding bottles, clothes, etc. outside of the litter zones provided by the organiser.
We’ve already seen a straight DQ for a rider who through a bottle to some kids who wanted a souvenir.
It’s either UCI being inconsistent or he threw it in the litter zone 10k from the finish, but I’m pretty sure it was closer to the finish than that. Might be wrong.

I think he should be DQed.
