All participants of any race are eligible for the individual daily purse for the race for which they registered, and they will also automatically earn points and be eligible for the overall prizes and awards. To be eligible for overall prize lists, racers do NOT have to compete in every race. Race Conduct Please respect the neighborhoods in which we hold our races by refraining from littering and any other general misconduct. Such issues may be grounds for fines or disqualification. Team Tents Please place your team tents within the areas designated on the venue maps. Be sure to keep walkways clear and never place tents on private property without permission. If you have any questions about placement, ask the race director. The race director has the right to ask you to move your tent. Riders Out of Contention/Withdrawing from a Race Race officials reserve the right to pull riders who are in danger of being lapped by the field. Such action is dependent on race category, number of riders on course, course length, and course type. Riders asked to withdraw must exit the course immediately, and will be placed accordingly to the following structure: Riders in the following categories will be placed if they are pulled in the second half of the race: Pro/1/2 Women Pro/1/2 Men Riders in all other categories will be placed if pulled at any point during the race. Riders should notify race officials if voluntarily withdrawing from a race. Riders who voluntarily withdraw will not be placed. Feeding No feeding shall occur unless expressly authorized by the Chief Referee. Should the weather and race length cause need for feeding, there will be a feed zone defined on-course, as well as specific race times feeding is permitted. This information will be available to riders at registration prior to the start of their races. Free Laps Riders may be granted a free lap for a crash or the breakage of an essential bicycle component. Riders may only be granted a free lap by the pit referee and all repairs or equipment exchanges must be made in the pit. The chief referee will announce when free laps are over before the start of each race, specifying free laps are over at _ laps to go. Riders must be reinserted into the field by the pit referee before this point to receive a free lap. Riders who are granted a free lap will be reinserted to the race at the back of the group in which they were originally placed. Riders who are not granted a free lap will have to chase.

21 Neutral Support Neutral race support will be provided by LOOK NRS. Licensed mechanics will be on-site daily to assist riders with mechanical issues during races. Any equipment is lent at the discretion of neutral support and must be returned. Junior Rollout Juniors are required to roll out for junior and senior races in which they compete. Details on rollout can be found in the USA Cycling rulebook under rule 1I4. Rollout will be set up in the neutral support pit each day. Courtesy rollout will be done at the discretion of the pit referee when time is available during the race days. Juniors who do not pass rollout are subject to relegation or disqualification. All junior riders will roll out as part of staging; the top five riders in each junior event must also roll out immediately following the event. Failure to report in a timely manner may also result in relegation or disqualification. Race Timing All criteriums in the series are time-based. A time board at the finish line will count up in time until USAC race officials have determined the number of laps remaining. Laps will then count down; when the lap count reads 1 a bell will also be rung to signify that one lap remains in the race. On the following lap, riders will contend for the win. Per criterium rules, all riders will finish on the same lap. Primes Primes will be awarded in most races during the Tour of America s Dairyland; they will be signified by the ringing of a bell for a specific group of riders, such as a breakaway or field, and the announcement of the prize. On the following lap, the prize will be awarded according to the announcement to the riders eligible for the prime. Primes will be available at registration following the conclusion of each race. Riders do not need to finish the race to be awarded primes, unless expressly stated when the prime is announced. Course Closure/Course Warm-up/Staging Procedures Riders are not permitted on the course during races for which they are not registered. Course officials/race announcers will officially open the course at the conclusion of each event. Only at this time are riders permitted to warm up on the course. Riders who are on the course at unauthorized times are subject to disqualification. The start line will remain closed during warm-up, and riders will not be able to line up until permitted. Course officials/race announcers will begin staging at the staging line five minutes before the start of each race. Series leaders will receive callups; riders who are late to staging are not guaranteed starting spots at the front of the pack. Anti-Doping Control Tour of America s Dairyland p/b Kwik Trip supports RaceClean. The RaceClean Program funds anti-doping tests at both the elite and amateur levels of cycling. Testing information will be posted with results at any of our races where testing will occur. Rev 6/20/ Official Tech Guide Produced by Midwest Cycling Series, LLC 21

22 Podium Ceremony Protocol Podiums occur directly after the finish of each event (within approximately 10 minutes). Please take a cooldown lap and report to the stage. Details on jerseys awarded are listed in Section II. Riders should appear for the podium in their team kits: team jersey, team shorts, no helmet (rider may wear hat only if it is team gear or bears the logo of a team or ToAD sponsor). If a rider is currently wearing the overall leader s jersey, the rider should remove the leader s jersey after each race and replace it with a team jersey for the podium ceremony. The daily winner s jersey may not be worn in a later race or for a later podium ceremony. Overall leader s jersey is to be worn in competition as long as the rider holds the overall lead. Daily Results & Prize Protocol Daily results will be posted on-site shortly following the conclusion of each race. Results will be posted for 15 minutes before they become final. Any protests must be directed to the Chief Judge on stage. Results may be changed for omnium points after the results are final, but any lost prize money is forfeited. Always check your results to ensure your finish was recorded correctly. Results will be uploaded to USA Cycling each evening. Prize Payout Prize money for race finishes will be available at registration shortly after the finalization of each race s results. Racers who win a cumulative $600 or more during the Tour of America s Dairyland will be required to complete an IRS-1099 form onsite before receiving payments exceeding $600.
