Règlementation pour les "arrivées attendues au sprint"
En résumé: il faut que l'organisateur désigne les étapes "sprint" s'il veut utiliser cette règle, et dans ce cas il faut 3" d'écart entre 2 coureurs pour comptabiliser un écart. Cette option est en complément de la règle des 3kmCalculation of time gaps for stages "expected to finish in bunch sprints"
Expected effects of the proposed change of the regulations
The objective is to adapt the method of calculating time gaps at the finish in certain situations (bunch sprint)
by increasing the time gap required for a split to 3 seconds (instead of 1 second).
This would mean that a rider who is distanced from the previous rider in front of him by less than 3 seconds
would be given the same time. It is useful to translate these time gaps into distances to allow the rule to be
clearly visualised.
Thus, in a sprint at 60 km/h the actual distance between riders represents:
- A 1-second gap = 17 metres
- A 3-second gap = 50 metres
Provision 4 – “3 last kilometer’s rule”
It is worth mentioning that this special method of calculating time gaps does not replace the “3 last
kilometers’ rule” which still applies fully “in the case of a duly noted fall, puncture or mechanical incident in
the last three kilometers of a road race stage” (art. 2.6.027).
Provision 6 – The choice of the organiser
- The organisers who wish to implement this protocol of calculation of time gaps shall act as follows:
o The organiser identifies the stages "expected to finish in bunch sprints";
o The organiser informs the President of the Commissaires’ Panel appointed on its event;
o The organiser adds the following provision in the special regulations of its event:
La règle des 3 km (version actuelle)
Finish
2.6.027 In the case of a duly noted incident in the last three kilometres of a road race stage, the
rider or riders affected shall be credited with the time of the rider or riders in whose
company they were riding at the moment of the incident. His or their placing shall be
determined by the order in which he or they actually cross the finishing line
Is considered as an incident, any event independent from the physical capacity of the
rider (fall, mechanical problem, puncture) and his will of remaining with the riders in
whose company he was riding at the moment of the incident.
Riders affected by an incident are asked to make themselves known to a commissaire
by rising their hand and report to a commissaire after the finish of the stage.
If, as the result of a duly noted fall in the last three kilometres, a rider cannot cross the
finishing line, he shall be placed last in the stage and credited with the time of the rider
or riders in whose company he was riding at the time of the fall.
This article shall not apply where the finish is at the top of a hill-climb.
Elle s'applique sur toutes les étapes sauf arrivées au sommet. Et ça parle toujours d'incident signalé dans les 3 derniers km.
