- Elite competitors in order of ranking

Timing, results and rankings
Electronic timing with disposable chip. The results will be available online after each stage.
In case of damage the number announced to the Race office to be replaced for the next stage.
The overall ranking will be generated by aggregating the times from the 3 stages.
If a competitor does not finish a stage he will be able to start the next day, but will be ranked as DNF at the stage race.
The railway crossing from the last day is supervised by the referees. If a train passes the referees will stop you and time the time you spend there to be subtracted from your final time. Failure to comply with the rules and indications of the referees at the railway crossing entails disqualification.
The leader’s jersey
After each stage, the leader in the overall men’s and women’s standings will be awarded the URGO blue jersey. The leader of the general classification is required to wear that jersey in the next stage.
Accidents
In case of an accident, notify the organizer as soon as possible. By phone (if you have) to the emergency number on the bib number, or to the first referee. By phone, try to communicate the location as accurately as possible.
