    Chapter 3 | Road Racing 3. ROAD RACING 3A. Road Course 3A1. A road course may be from place to place, around a circuit, out and back, or any combination of these. The course shall not cross itself; there must be no chance that riders may have to cut through other groups of riders. 3A2. Multiple Fields. Race Directors are responsible for the planning and coordination of races to generally avoid overlapping of groups on the same course. If more than one massed start race is to be on the course simultaneously, starting intervals should be chosen such that groups will not overlap. If these conditions are not met, the Chief Referee may change the schedule or cancel some or all of the events. 3A3. Markers. In all road events, at a minimum a conspicuous marker shall denote the final kilometer. A panel shall indicate the final 200 meters from the finish. Panels including the following distances from the finish line: 500 m, 300 m, 150 m, 100 m, and 50 m are recom- mended. Panels indicating the last 25, 20, 10, 5, 4, 3 and 2 km are recommended for all road races. In races ending on a circuit, only the last 3, 2 and 1 km are to be displayed. 3A4. The finishing area should be at least eight meters wide and be adequately protected so as to prevent spectators from entering onto the course. The last 200 meters should be free of turns and curves. 3A5. The finish line shall be perpendicular to the racecourse. For any championship event it shall be a black line of uniform width between 4 and 6 cm painted in the middle of a 72 cm wide white stripe.

  • Calling Time out on the Team Time Trial
    The Outer Line A Roadmap to Repair Pro Cycling Callinghttp://www.theouterline.com Time Out On the Team Time Trial Cycling's association of teams, the Association International des Groupes Cyclistes Professionels (AIGCP), recently issued a strong rebuke to the sport’s ruling body – the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). Generally fed up with the pace of reforms and with the economic pressures they face in trying to field teams for all of the WorldTour’s far-flung races, the teams voted to boycott the upcoming UCI World Team Time Trial (TTT) Championship in Doha. This potential walkout highlights the teams’ growing discontent with the UCI – specifically the expansion of the WorldTour calendar in future years – and the frustration of not having enough input in how they run their own businesses. The key contention pointed out in the August 10, 2016 AIGCP press release announcing the boycott is that the teams will themselves have to continue to shoulder the costs of participating in what is ostensibly a UCI World Championship event. Whereas national teams receive support from their home federations to transport their riders, equipment, and entourages to compete in the World Championship road events, the TTT event is comprised of the top commercial or “trade” teams – not national teams. But even though national teams do not compete, the TTT has become one of the showcase races of the UCI's annual flagship event. It wasn't always this way; long-time fans of cycling may recall that the TTT used to be one of the pinnacles of elite amateur cycling.

    UCI CYCLING REGULATIONS ROAD RACES The first road event in Olympic history took place in 1896 at the first Games of the modern era in Athens.

  • Rule the Tour De France Top Seven Tips
    Rule the Tour de France! Top seven tips for teaching authentic and exciting Tour de France stages in your indoor cycling classes! Check out the Tour de France website at www.letour.com to discover the profiles for each stage of the Tour de France. (You can change the language at the top right). Click on Route to get a dropdown of the various stages. 1. Understanding the route of the Tour de France Did you know the Tour de France route changes every single year? One year it travels in a more clockwise direction with the Alps preceding the Pyrénées, and the next year counterclockwise, with the Pyrénées before the Alps. One thing is for certain; it finishes in Paris every year! The Tour organizers will often try to create a route that presents particular challenges to the yellow jersey winner of the previous year. This is one way they try to keep it very interesting from year to year. Some things of note about this year’s route are: • There are more mountaintop finishes than usual (5 out of 6 big mountain stages). • This year there is only one time trial on the penultimate day, which is very different from past tours. • There is no Team Time Trial this year. They seem to change their minds every year about this. Apparently the TTT gives advantage to certain teams. For cycling fans it’s a bummer because they are more exciting to watch. (Note: in the ICA TDF package bundles, we teach you how to teach Team Time Trials because they are so much fun to do, and they are quite intense! Check out both 2013 and 2011 packages.) • There is less focus on the Alpes the year, with several very challenging climbs in the Vosges Mountains near the German border.
