Long distance wc, may I use my bike?

Hoping for a chance to start as a agegrouper at the long distance world championship next year in Motala, Sweden. But, i have a Quintana Roo Cd0.1, is it legal in that race? Anyone who knows?

Yes, it is legal for the Age Group race.

Ok, thanks!

ITU draft-illegal rules, these are the 2013 rules but AFIK they haven’t changed

They did clarify things for 2014 - http://www.triathlon.org/uploads/docs/itusport_competition-rules_19022014v2-highlighted.pdf See highlights specifically…

5.2 B ii - The frame of the bike shall be of a traditional pattern, i.e., built around a closed frame of straight or tapered tubular elements, (which may be round, oval, flattened, teardrop shaped or otherwise in cross-
Non-traditional or unusual bikes or equipment shall be illegal unless prior approval has been granted from the Technical Delegate, prior to the start of the competition.

They snagged a few people with Dimond bikes in Edmonton. The CD 0.1, while missing a seatstay, still conforms. I passed one in Edmonton.

Thanks! The Cd0.1 has two seatstays, its the illicito that only has one.

Well both are fine :slight_smile: For non-draft legal it really just needs to be a double diamond style frame unless you’ve gone out of your way to modify something.

See you there! :]

Well, I certainly hope so… I will know in a week or so.

I got a spot, see you next summer!
