A rider in the Grand Rapids Triathlon was DQ'd for endangerment. I looked up the rule (below), but what are some examples of such actions? Seems like one would really have to be a douche to get this called.
5.5 Endangerment. No cyclist shall endanger himself or another participant. Any cyclist, who intentionally presents a danger to any participant or who, in the judgment of the Head Referee, appears to present a danger to any participant shall be disqualified.
Below are the other penalties from the race (HIM). I removed bib numbers since I don't care about who did what. Is this a 'normal' amount of penalties for a HIM (438 entries)? One guy was nailed for 12 minutes. Damn. The Oly penalties were mainly drafting and blocking. Standard stuff.
BIB NUMBER RULE VIOLATED PENALTY
5.10A 4:00
5.10F 4:00
5.10A 4:00
