9 7. THE COURSES All course information can be found online at Participants must be present at the start of their race at the time stated in their registration confirmation. On-site, participants will also be informed of their start times by screens and announcements over the PA. Some starts will be staggered. All Roc d Azur races will start and finish at the Base Nature François Léotard in Fréjus, apart from the following exceptions: - Rando Roc Enduro: Start and finish in Roquebrune-sur-Argens; - EnduRoc / EnduRoc Electrique: Start and finish in Roquebrune-sur-Argens; - Roc Ruelles de Fréjus: Start and finish at the Place de l Hôtel de Ville in Fréjus; - Roc Ruelles de Roquebrune-sur-Argens: Start and finish in the centre of Roquebrune-sur- Argens; Participants must cross the finish line with their bikes in order to be included in the rankings. The courses of the different races will be marked using netting, tape, banners or signage. If a participant leaves the track, he will need to return to the course and start from the point at which he left it. Any participant seen breaking these rules will be disqualified from the race in question by an official controller or a member of the organisation. Parts of the Event will take place on roads which are open to the traffic. Participants must respect the code de la route (French Highway Code) and are reminded that roads and tracks may be used by other users. In the event of violation of the code de la route (French Highway Code), the Participant alone will be held responsible for any accidents in which they are directly or indirectly involved. Participants acknowledge that cycling on public roads and in traffic includes risks and that they must constantly adapt their speed to the traffic conditions and state of the road. All participants are aware of their vulnerability and accept the risks involved in the Event. The organisation will provide a safety service all the way along the route, composed of signallers who will provide assistance for crossing junctions identified as major intersections. 8. COMPULSORY AND RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT All bikes used at the Roc d Azur must comply with the official standards currently in force, as defined by the Fédération Française de Cyclisme (FFC) and the UCI. Participants are fully responsible for ensuring that the equipment they use, and its state of repair, are in accordance with current standards. For safety reasons and to reduce the risk of incidents during races, each Participant is required to comply with the following rules regarding equipment

10 Each Participant must have his/her helmet on his/her head with the chin strap attached from the moment he/she arrives at the start line to the end of the race. Any Participant who does not have the compulsory equipment at the start of the race will not be allowed to compete. Any Participant who does not have the compulsory equipment during the race may be removed from the course or receive a time penalty. In the event that a participant fails to respect the rules on compulsory equipment, the organisation cannot be held responsible for any incidents that arise, or their consequences. 9. TIMING Timing will be adapted depending on each race s format and constraints. All Participants will be issued with an electronic chip when they pick up their race numbers and frame plates (chip in the form of a strip stuck behind each frame plate) which will automatically be initialised on the start line. A Participant who doesn t follow the route cannot be placed at the finish. The electronic detection system has been selected according to strict reliability criteria. Despite tests conducted by the manufacturers, a very low percentage of cases of non-detection remains. Due to the lack of information resulting from this non-detection, the Organiser may be unable to show the official or real time for the Participant concerned in the ranking. The Organiser cannot be held responsible for this. XC / EnduRoc / EnduRoc Electrique / Tri Roc Races The EnduRoc and the EnduRoc Electrique rankings will be established by adding the time taken for each special. The Roc Trophy ranking will be established as follows: every day there will be a ranking and a prize giving ceremony for the stage of the day and the overall ranking. For stages 2 and 4, competitors will also be included in the Roc Marathon and the Roc d Azur s rankings

11 Rando races Rando races are also timed. However, there will be no final ranking for these events. If a Participant starts the race without going through the gridding procedure, his participation will be considered invalid, and he will not be included in the ranking. Only the Gravel Origins 83 will not be timed. 10. FEEDING STATIONS & MAINTENANCE Feeding stations will be at the disposal of Participants. Participants will only have access to the feeding stations on the day of the race for which they are registered. Participants must ensure that, when they leave feeding stations, they have enough food and water to reach the following station. Maintenance is strictly limited to the feeding station areas. It is strictly forbidden to change bikes or wheels during a race. Participants are allowed to offer one another technical assistance. As set out in the regulations (Art of the UCI Cycling Regulations), competitors and their UCI MTB or national teams are responsible for placing their equipment in the technical assistance area. Only the riders themselves or their teammates (from the same UCI MTB team or the same national team) can repair or change equipment within this area. Members from the same UCI MTB team or national team are also allowed to provide technical assistance to one another outside these areas (Art of the UCI Cycling Regulations). The technical assistance areas are the same as feeding areas. No follower vehicles are allowed. Only official motorcycles are allowed on the circuit; these will be clearly marked and their riders will be wearing official race numbers.

In the Tri Roc, Participants are not allowed to help one another

Prize winners must be present at the prize giving ceremony, or else they will not receive their prizes. Any Participant who is absent will not receive his / her prize. Some races give rise to prizes as specified in the table below. Only Participants with licences issued by cycling federations affiliated with the UCI are eligible to receive prize money. The Organiser will pay the total prize money to the Fédération Française de Cyclisme, which will be responsible for awarding prize money to Participants or their national federations.

For Participants who are outside these times at the end of the race, compulsory secondary routes will be indicated. PERMANENT OPERATION: TURN-OFF POINTS Turn-off times will be set up at various points along the course (feeding stations), corresponding to the times after which it will no longer be possible for riders to leave the location by the initial route. All Participants exceeding these times will be directed towards a secondary route and will not appear in the race rankings. The organisation will provide an end-of-race system to follow the last Participant. In the Tri Roc, all Participants will need to have reached the transition area between mountain biking and running (T2), at the latest 4 hours after the race start. After this point, Participants will not be allowed to take part in the running stage. The chief race steward has the power to modify this elimination cut-off time. 16. MEDICAL AID Medical assistance will be provided by doctors and mobile emergency aid units. If they are needed, these units can be called by the signallers posted along each course, who are equipped with radio transmitters. If advised to do so by a doctor, the organisation reserves the right to withdraw any person deemed unfit to continue from the race and have them removed from the course. Any Participant who requests attention from a doctor or first-aid worker agrees to fully accept their authority and judgement. If need be, in the interests of the person in question, the emergency services will be called.
