Had a guy on the track fail the reach one time and we literally had him choked up on purpose, it was way...way behind 80, probably behind 75... but he was young and didn't argue it and ended up riding a kilo sitting basically bolt upright :D
First year US Pro nats was in Knoxville a local pro female wanted to get setup for the jig and she had an old Felt B12 from her Tri days... with the forward seatpost... even with the shortest saddle I had it was still like +5 in front of the bb... they put it in the jig, looked at her and waved her through without saying a word haha. Then she crashed coming out of the start gate...
Most officials have a hard time understanding and enforcing all of the rules that apply to a TT at this moment. So much discretion or personal interpretation of the current rules leaves much room for mistakes and rules being improperly enforced or on the other hand not enforced at all. Hopefully the new rules will take some confusion out of it but likely not.
I’ve yet to fail a uci tech inspection but also would not be surprised if my setup was questioned. I usually leave everything -5mm so I’m on the safe side of things. On the other hand I seen someone using an EZ Disc chainring cover and finish 8th at the French Nationals. I was under the understanding those were not permitted?????
