CANCELLATION

During race day, access to the circuit will be limited and under the responsibilities of the marshals to ensure safety guidelines are followed at all times. |
MARSHALS
Marshals will all be equipped with a whistle and those located at strategic points (to be defined by the organizing committee).
Marshals will be positioned so as to provide a radio
link covering the whole course. An appointed Marshal Coordinator will liaise with the Commissaire/Race Director in the running and the safety aspects of the race. |
Conduct of riders
A rider must act in a sporting manner at all times and shall permit any faster rider to overtake without obstructing.
If a rider exits the course for any reason, he/she must return to the course at the same point from which he/she exited.
The riders must respect nature and shall make sure that they do not pollute the course venue. |
