What is the main race course like? Are there GPX files?
Note: Always be aware of your surroundings and don’t let your bike computer or similar devices distract you!
What does "Neutralized Zone" mean and how far does it extend?
A neutralized zone means that the race is not yet open in this section and no timing occurs. In this section, the pace car must not be overtaken to minimize the risk of accidents in the first kilometers. The time measurement and the race begins at about kilometer 6 (
near C&C just before Immenstadt).
Does the road traffic regulations (StvO) apply on a closed course?
Yes, absolutely. Although all necessary safety precautions have been taken to ensure no traffic is on the course, 100% safety cannot be guaranteed. Additionally, the right-hand driving rule must be strictly followed for sporting reasons to allow faster athletes to overtake, thus minimizing the risk of accidents.
Are there time limits?
Yes, there are three cutoffs:
