Looks like Emily's been disqualified for going out of bounds according to official website

Loads of DSQ today. 325 in Junior Men, 31 in Senior Men.
Ed 37 out of 38 Finishers, 63 Starters
Andy 24, Ian 48 out of 60 Finishers, 91 starters
Em DSQ

That sounds a ridiculous rate of DSQ there is a note on the website that I can see

"These are the official results after the marshals from the field reported a number of riders who entered the forbidden area marked in the city center. Prize giving is planned for 6 pm. The organisers are working with the teams of the affected riders to handle any possible complaint. All other complaint that do not affect top 6 positions, can be submitted to the organisers before the Team Officials Meeting starting at 7pm."

who'd be an official

It looks as though Emily would have been 3rd. From the gps it did appear she went OOB, but then again the gps wasn't that reliable on some other parts of the course.

Looks like silver for Emily in middle distance race - hopefully no DQ or MP issues! Well done!!

[Spookster]

Yes, Silver, according to official results.

Can't find that on BOF even after refreshing

[PhilJ]

It's now the second news item, the first item now makes mention of the middle distance race yesterday, but the original news item has not been re-edited, seems BO are a day behind

[Supersaint82]

We're writing the reports each evening and sending them to both BO and BMBO, but we're doing this all from phones so not the easiest sending links, photos, results etc. Looks like no-one is reading/editing the reports before posting them. Long race tomorrow with Em in women's, Andy in men's and Edwyn in junior men's.
