Apart from some small wording changes/adds and time penalties, a couple that you might want to review (Bold):-
Uniforms with a front zipper may be unzipped to any length, provided, that (i) the zipper should be connected at the bottom of the uniform at all times, and (ii) the
top of the uniform should cover the shoulders at all times; (30 or 60 Second Time Penalty (as applicable), DSQ if not remedied promptly)
Athletes shall not dispose of trash or equipment (including, but not limited to, water bottles, gel/bar wrappers, broken bike parts, clothing items, etc.) on the course
except at aid stations or other designated trash-disposal points. Intentional or 2024 Competition Rules – Page 17 careless littering will result in a 5:00 Minute Time Penalty or disqualification. Please note: due to the local laws and ordinances at select Event venues, intentional littering will result in disqualification (See Event-specific Athlete Information Guide for more information). (m) Except as set forth below in Section 5.02(b), additional equipment that has the eff....
Except as set forth below in Section 5.02(b), additional equipment that has the effect of reducing wind resistance is prohibited during the bike segment of the Race
(whether such equipment is worn under the athlete’s clothing, over the athlete’s clothing, or is otherwise attached to the athlete's body or the athlete’s bike). This
includes, but is not limited to, (i) any bottles/hydration or any other insert located in the front of an athlete’s race suit and (ii) any insert in an athlete’s calf sleeves; (DSQ)
and
Protective screens, fuselages, fairings, or any other devices or materials (including duct tape) added or blended into the structure with the intent to reduce (or having
the effect of reducing) resistance to air penetration are prohibited. Aerodynamic assemblies and protuberances on the head tube or elsewhere are prohibited; (DSQ)
I sometimes stick empty gel wrappers down my front on the bike so I don't drop them. I don't think that is the intention of the second noted change rule above, mainly for water bottles.
