PRESS RELEASE RACE DIRECTORS

The race presents dangers that every cyclist must know. It is the responsibility of the participants to inform themselves on time on the website www.novecolli.it, pay attention to the warnings and take note in particular of the dangerous points.

The route is supervised with ASA staff and volunteers for the duration of the entire event, but temporary suspension of traffic will be activated only for the competitors who will pass through the space delimited by the vehicles from the beginning and end of the race, while for the others there will be obligation to comply with the rules of the highway code.

 

At the Sogliano al Rubicone area, at the point of separation between the medium and the long route, participants who choose the medium one pay attention to their right: if they see the vehicle at the end of the race, this means that they are still in the space where it is applied the temporary suspension of traffic, if this vehicle is no longer present, this will mean that the competitors will have to consider themselves in the condition of having to scrupulously respect the highway code.
