Results and commentary on this years Hardrock 100. Did not realize Xavier Thévenard was at 91 miles before he was told he was disqualified. Looks like rules were broken but sad part is that it becomes the focus of some and not the race and the eventual winners. Some online even saying Jeff should turn down the first place award. Even Kilian said on Twitter that it is important to know the rules as they can differ from country to country as Kilian was once disqualified for cutting some trails at the 2012 Speedgoat 50K which was illegal in that race while in Europe very often you can cut the trails. At the end of the day if there are rules and they are not enforced then why have them.
