Proposal 32: Update 4B.3 Rider Identification [ Revision 2 ]
Committee: RoadSubmitted on 2019-05-04
Status: Passed on May 20, 2019
Background
This proposal give the hosts an option to require an unmodified bib on front and back of riders during road races. This will help the manual data recording that is often essential to small events and as backup to large events.
Proposal
Current Rule
4B.3 Rider Identification
Riders must wear their race number clearly visible on their chest so that it is visible during the race and as the rider crosses the finish line. Additionally, the rider may be required to wear a chip for electronic timing.
New Rule
4B.3 Rider Identification
Riders must wear their race number(s) fixed at the four corners, clearly visible on their chest and, when required, on their back so that it is visible during the race and as the rider crosses the finish line. Riders must use the officially provided race number unmodified in any manner. Numbers should not be folded, trimmed, or otherwise defaced. Referee approval must be sought to modify a number plate if it cannot otherwise be attached securely due to hydration pack, rider physique or posture when riding. Lost or damaged race numbers must be replaced with approval by referee. Additionally, riders may be required to wear a chip for electronic timing.
