ADDITIONAL RACE INFO &
SPECIFIC RULES (important)
1) CRITERIUM - HOW IT WORKS
For example: For the Ladies Open
category where the race distance/duration is 30 mins
+ 3 laps. The ladies will ride for 30 mins. When the
30 mins are up, a bell will be rung to indicate that
there are 3 more laps to go.
After each category allocated
‘Time’, the bell will ring as the Lead rider approaches the start/finish line
after the final bend to signal 3 Laps remaining. (Only 1
bell to indicate Final Lap for Junior C & D)
The bell will ring one last time to
signal the start of the ‘Final’ lap.
2) FREE LAPS
In the event that any
rider encounters a mechanical problem, he/she is allowed to perform repairs on
the bicycle. No outside assistance is allowed.
The bicycle must be removed from the
racecourse so as to not impede the race. An official may be stationed at that
location to ensure compliance.
The rider is given 2 free laps and
if he/she joins the race anytime within these 2 free laps, he/she is still in
the race. However, if he/she fails to join the race within the 2 free laps,
then he/she is automatically disqualified from the race and will not be
classified
Scenario 1 - If the rider is the
lead rider when the mechanical problem occurs, the 2 free laps will begin
immediately i.e. when the new lead rider comes round again, there will only be
1 free lap left.
Scenario 2 - If the rider is not the
lead rider when the mechanical problem occurs, the 2 laps will only begin the
next time the lead rider comes round.
If the mechanical problem occurs
during the last 3 laps, the rider is disqualified from the race.
3) FEEDING
No feeding will be allowed. Riders
are to carry their own water bottles/feeding bags and they are not allowed to
dispose of them anytime during the race. Any disposal will be considered as
littering and dumping on the racecourse and race organisers
shall have a right to disqualify the rider.
4) NUMBER TAG LOCATION & ISSUING
Please bring & keep the issued
number tags (pair) for the race series 2005 & state your number on the
entry form when you register for the next races.
If you have lost your number tags or
failed to bring along during race day, a S$5/-
replacement fee will be charged for a new one.
Tags must be pinned down securely on
all four corners of the Number tag:
One on the pocket
zone of the jersey and the other in the horizontal position, on the Right side
of the jersey.
Race organisers
have the right to disqualify the riders in the following cases: -
i) Number tags cannot be seen by the
officials; or
ii) Number tags cannot be picked up
by the stationary video camera positioned at the start/finish line; or
iii) Have only one number tag on.
5) RIDERS WHO ARE LAPPED
A rider is lapped if the lead rider
passes the lapped rider i.e. the lead rider's rear bicycle wheel passes the
front wheel of the lapped rider
If any rider is lapped, he/she will
be disqualified from the race and will not be classified. A lapped rider is to
leave the racecourse immediately.
An official may be stationed at that
location to ensure compliance and the safety of the riders. Race organisers have the right to disqualify the rider and take
disciplinary actions against the rider due to any non-compliance.
6) CLOSURE OF
The race route will be closed and
hence, off-limits to any rider. Any rider caught practicing/warming-up on the
race route after it has been closed will be issued a warning. A subsequent
contravention of this will result in immediate disqualification from the race.
Riders may practice/warm-up anywhere
outside the race route. Please practice/warm-up safely and be mindful of
traffic conditions at all times.
7) ROLL CALL
A roll call
will be done 5 mins before the start of each race and
any rider not present during the roll call will be disqualified from the race.
There will be ample announcements before the roll call so please stay alert and
ensure that you are aware of the race timings
