Tour rules

Post by PJ520 »

Bit of a daft question but...

A rider was disqualified for getting a lift in a car 100 yds up the road to his own team car to get a new bike. Now if he had run up the road to his team car would he have been penalized?

I understand that he would need to take his old bike with him and hand it to the mechanic in exchange for the new bike.

I have a friend who was riding a time trial, punctured 200 yards from the finish and ran to the line but didn't get a time because he didn't take his bike with him. Different rules (CTT) but I think the principal is the same.

Would he have to take the whole bike with him?
