Timing is electronic. The chip is attached to the back of the number and does not need to be returned.
The shape or size of the race number must not be altered (for example by cutting, bending, or folding the edges). The race number must be attached to the handlebar in a vertical position and clearly visible from the front. It will be checked upon entering the start corridor, and in case of incorrect placement, participants will be asked to reattach the number on the spot. Any violation detected after the start will automatically result in a 10-minute time penalty.
