It is with a very heavy heart that we have to announce the disqualification of Magnus Ditlev after his victory earlier today at CHALLENGEBUDVA-MONTENEGRO. This dsq is due to an unintentional course cutting action, after following the lead bike, which became apparent in the final stages of todays’ race.

All involved regret this decision but the application of the objective rules as set out by our World Triathlon governing body is an important factor in our sport.

In an act of solidarity, pro’s finishing behind Magnus decided to share their earnings of todays’ price money as a token of appreciation of the form Magnus showed today.

Patrick Lange now wins CHALLENGEBUDVA-MONTENEGRO. Ruedi Wild is the runner-up and Nils Frommhold claims the third spot.
