SECURITY & PROTOCOLS

SEE the Rules

CODE OF CONDUCT

Participants are required to demonstrate good sportsmanship. Participants must comply with the relevant road traffic regulations at all times.

Parallel riding is only permitted by two, and this applies to the entire route. Participants must maintain a safe distance from each other to avoid accidents caused by sudden stops.

Dangerous riding, such as incorrect lane changes, lane breaks or reckless and dangerous overtaking, is prohibited.

Look out for obstacles, ride safely and predictably. Do not swerve or spin, keep your head up, and ride in one direction whenever possible.

In a large group, always indicate and signal your intention to stop or change direction, including at intersections.

Please also pay attention to any event-specific signs that have been erected for the event, as these will be erected for your safety to warn you of what is coming. Warning: signs do not indicate every risk, and you must therefore be alert and aware of your surroundings at all times.

You must always control your bike and ride according to your abilities and the road conditions. Look ahead and be aware of potential obstacles/risks that may arise on the road. This may include hidden holes and obstacles/hazards around bends. If you cannot see the road in front of you or around a corner, reduce your speed so that you can react if necessary.

Participants must behave in a manner that respects the environment.

In order to protect the environment and the nature in which the event takes place, it is strictly forbidden to leave waste (paper, plastic packaging) on the route. Waste bins will be provided in all dining areas, which participants must use when disposing of their waste.

ACCESS TO THE START

FLYING START: Km 0

To ensure the safety of all participants in Sunday's race, regulated riding will be conducted up to kilometer 0, which is marked on the route. This means that overtaking the vehicle in front is not allowed.

SPEED AND TIME LIMIT

For participants in the (long distance) race on Sunday, entering the second lap requires an average speed of at least 24 km/h, due to the time limit for the complete road closure. If this speed is not achieved, the participant is required to deviate towards the finish line upon reaching the second lap entry area.

FAIR PLAY

WASTE DISPOSAL

Do not throw any packaging on the side of the road when riding. Littering is only allowed at the feeding zones marked on the map. If illegal littering is found, the competitor will be disqualified. Be careful when putting bars and gel packs in your pockets so they don't fall on the road.
