IRONMAN’s Take

In our conversation with Riccitello we begin with some background information on the rules process between World Triathlon and IRONMAN, and then dig deeper into these specific new rules that were implemented for professional athletes beginning this weekend at IRONMAN 70.3 Kraichgau, where four athletes were forced to make modifications to their bike setups in order to race. We also clarify IRONMAN’s current position for age group athletes.
