REGISTRATIONS NEWS UPDATE
Registrations are now open - to register go to: entryboss.cc/races/1918 To access the event programme, click here: classic_programme_2019.pdf IMPORTANT: RACE COMMISSAIRES The Race Commissaire and their team will provide detailed instructions to riders prior to the start of their grade for both the Criterium and Road Race. Riders should pay close attention to the instructions, as they are for safety purposes and to ensure fair racing. Riders who do not follow the instructions may be penalised or excluded from the race. The Race Commissaires will also be on hand to check any gearing and kit requirements. Note that the final authority to permit a rider to race in a particular grade rests with the Race Commissaire. EVENT PRIZE MONEY In response to feedback from participants from previous events, for 2019 the event organisers plan to offer prize money for the first three places in each grade, regardless of the number of entrants. The event organisers do, however, reserve the right to amend this policy should the need arise. |
