80% RULE IN EFFECT
The 80% rule is going to be in effect and those riders that are pulled out by this

This rule allows to withdraw from the course very slow riders, the one that have
a time geater than 80% from the leader’s time. The primary reason for
withdrawing riders at the 80% zone is that it decreases the potential for
confusion both for the public and the media in the finish zone area. With the

80% rule, lapped riders (or riders that are just about to be lapped) are prevented
from crossing the finish line along with the winner of the race.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RULE

“In cross-country Olympic format (XCO), any rider whose time being 80% slower of that
of the race leader's first lap is pulled out of the race. He is required to leave the race at
the end of his lap in the zone provided for the purpose (the "80% zone") except when
the rider is on his final lap.”
