Riding safely
Three rules for every rider, in every grade and every race:
- Red flashing rear light on, for the whole race. Drivers see a flashing light long before they see a rider.
- Never overtake a car, including the follow car of another grade. If a car is ahead of the bunch, the race waits behind it.
- Stay left of the centre line, at all times, including on corners and in the sprint. The roads are open to traffic.
