Practical information
Timing
Entry to the time trial sector will be non-stop, as you pass the start point, so this is not an individual time trial sector. The finish will also be launched.
Course
The timed course will remain open to traffic and other road users, with the organizers restricting themselves to giving right of way where necessary.
Regulations
Participants are free to adopt whatever tactics and strategies they see fit throughout the timed sector.
