Rules:

Note that this race is a criterium and will be run in line with the Cycling Ireland criterium regulations

ARTICLE 2 - CRITERIUMS

1. A race on a circuit of less than 3kms will be deemed to be a Criterium.

2. A Criterium may be over a set number of laps or time. If on time it is recommended that by at least mid-way in time, the number of laps remaining to complete the race should be calculated and advised to the competitors. This can be advised by lapboard or announcement.

3. In a Criterium a competitor suffering an acceptable mishap i.e. puncture, crash or breakage of a part of their bicycle will be granted a lap out with the exception of the last 5 laps. There will only be one such lap out permitted unless provided for under special race regulations for the race.

4. An official pit or pits must be established at which machines and wheels will be made available and where a lap out may be claimed in respect of rule T7.A2.3 above, at the discretion of the Pit Commissaire.

5. Competitors granted a lap out, should rejoin the event in the same position, but at the rear of the group in which they were, prior to the mishap.

6. If a group, defined as the breakaway group, laps the main field they shall be given a clear passage, and no rider within the main field shall take advantage of such an incident.

7. If a group, defined as the breakaway group, catches riders who have been dropped by the main field, then such dropped riders may take advantage of the situation until they regain the main field but must not lead.

8. Riders can only work together with riders who are at the same point in the race. If a rider deliberately drops back from any bunch, to assist a rider who is gaining, both riders may be disqualified.

9. The Chief Commissaire has the right to remove lapped riders whom they deem to be out of contention.

10. Primes may be made available during the race and the allocation of such primes will be at the organisation’s discretion.

11. All riders will finish on the same lap as the winner, with the exception of the situation as defined in T7.A2.13 below.

12. First aid personnel are mandatory for Criterium races and Cycling Ireland’s Safety Code must be adhered to.

13. Where a group of riders (2 or more) lap the field and are still in a lapped group at the bell, the bell will first be sounded for the lapped riders, and those riders a lap up will continue for another 3 laps when the bell will sound again for the leaders last lap.

Pits:

Pits will be located near the stage at the start/finish area.
