CG is the boss
4.1.035 If a rider exits the course for any reason, he/she must return to the course at the same point from
which he/she exited. If the president of the commissaires panel deems that the rider gained advantage,
the rider is disqualified (DSQ).
Technically, Gee would have finished a few seconds later if he had remained on the course. I don't know if that qualifies as an "advantage" considering it ended up not mattering. But the above is the exact wording of the rules for anyone that is interested.

thats why i said "deja vu" because it looks very alike ... except the rim
98:30 to 98:45 you can see him go off, walk about 10meters before coming back on course. too bad though, good to see he walked all the way down, shows a lot of class.
@ianhylands, its exactly because you were there that you wouldnt have seen what everyone else saw on freecaster which was gee leave the track and re enter somewhere else what i dont understand is why he did this. its like he went to walk back to the bottom then realised/remembered there might be some advantage to walking down the track.
His time wouldve given him no points anyways, and yeah its a matter pride to a lot of people to always finish, but he still has that to a point (how much pride is there in walking down a mountain with a broken bike..). He can hold his head up and you can bitch about the uci some more. it really doesnt matter does it??
Gotta feel for the poor guy thats not the first time hes lost a race due to a tyre/wheel related mechanical this season.
