Jeroni Fajardo - Ossa was disqualified for needing outside assistance to finish the Trial.

Anyone know what the 'outside assistance' is??

What are they allowed to do? e.g. If they asked someone to hold the bike while Fajardo and minder did something that needed 3 hands - is that outside assistance?
Or is it more involved than that?

[larstrialinfo]

yea. and help from the teammanager, is that allowed?
Fajardo had a lot of problems this year with the Ossa. All the Ossa riders have problems the bike isn't clean. They put they trottle full open, a few times, before they take a big rock. And lots of clutch problems. Fajardo had races he need a new clutch after one lap. To make sure the clutch is allright, they replace a clutch now after the first lap. (what i've seen this year a few times)

Fajardo had bike problems as you've already correctly deduced.

He rode a minders/standard bike to the top of a section to get his card punched 5. A minder was then seen pushing Fajardo's bike.

Being disqualified didn't affect the championship positions at all. Fajardo's score for the day was/would have been 68, putting him in 7th position and gaining him 9 championship points. That, added to his existing 115 points would have had him finish the championship on 124. Cabestany finished on 129 so Fajardo's finishing place in the championship would have been 5th regardless.
