It is compulsory for drivers of tender vehicles to attend the briefing on Thursday the 9th of March 2023. Should a tender vehicle driver not attend the briefing, this vehicle will be removed from the list as an official tender vehicle. While moving through the field, tender vehicles will pick up any competitors who have broken down. There will be sufficient official tender vehicles to cover the whole field.
Competitors will be required to sign a declaration acknowledging that they have been loaded by an official tender vehicle. They will also be required to indemnify both the organisers and the tender vehicle driver for any loss or damage. Any competitor who is picked up by a tender vehicle will not qualify as a finisher of the event. It is the sole responsibility of the competitor to ensure that his/her vehicle is safely and securely loaded, and that the GPS logger is switched off.
Tender vehicles that are not providing a specific service to the organisers and officially registered in this regard must keep off the route, bearing in mind that “their” competitor runs the risk of being disqualified if they – the accompanying vehicle – are reported to be in the field. (As per VSR 33 (a) (xi). Please make sure you understand this, it will be enforced. If a rider needs additional support during the event, please apply to the COC in writing together with your completed entry form stating the reasons.
