CR6.5.
If any piece of equipment is dropped by a rider when
attempting to put it on/in or take it off/out of any container,
holder or pole, the rider may dismount to put the piece of
equipment into/onto or take it out/off the container, holder
or pole, dismounted. The rider must however remount to
continue the race.
The rider may continue with any piece of equipment, not
necessarily the one that he/she was originally carrying.
If a piece of equipment is displaced after a rider has
crossed the Start/Finish line and before the next rider has
crossed the Start/Finish line, it is the responsibility of the
active rider to replace it. To do so, he/she should ride to
the dislodged equipment immediately, make the
correction and then recross the Start/Finish line before
continuing with their part of the race.
If a piece of equipment is displaced after the last rider in
that lane has crossed the Finish line, no elimination is
incurred.
