This now allows an age group athlete from Europe to race either 70.3 Oceanside in the USA or 70.3 Busselton in Australia and have a clear understanding that the legal distance is 10 meters (or 5 bike lengths), measured from the leading edge of the front wheel and extending towards the back of the bike, and that is also true for that athlete when racing 70.3 Wiesbaden in Germany. That age grouper has then 20 seconds to go through that zone when attempting a pass. For the Pros the distance is 12 meters, which represents 6 bike lengths of clears space between bikes, and Pros have 25 seconds to make a pass, and that is a global standard. There is also a standard now when it comes to penalties. The first penalty now is 5 minutes, the second another 5 minutes, and the third one will mean a disqualification. Previously it was 4, 4 and out.
