The results of the Day 1 – Prologue ranking will be displayed on the noticeboard in the Secretariat area.

The starting order on the second day of the route will be determined by the final ranking of Day 1 – Urban Prologue.

The final ranking after Day 2 (time Day 1 + time Day 2) will represent the final ranking.

REFUELLING:

Refueling Locations:
The refueling stations will be clearly marked and designated.

Additional Information:
Further details on refueling procedures and station locations will be provided during the briefing.

Refueling Requirement:
It is mandatory to refuel with the engine turned off.

Smoking Policy:
Smoking is strictly prohibited at fueling points under any circumstances.

Fuel Provision by the Organizer:
The organizer will supply fuel to all competitors from the designated refueling stations, subject to the following conditions:

Day 1 – Prologue: Competitors are responsible for providing and paying for their own fuel.
Day 2 and Beyond: Each competitor must start the second day of the competition with a full fuel tank, at their own cost.
The organizer will provide fuel from the refueling points at no charge, with a maximum limit of 5 liters per competitor per day of competition (excluding the Prologue).

CHECKPOINTS

Checkpoints (CPs) are mandatory control points along the route, clearly marked and well signaled. Each CP will be staffed by at least two officials (arbitrators). All competitors are required to pass through every CP and must stop at each one to be officially recorded by the arbitrators.

For safety reasons, it is essential that the organizers can track each competitor's location on the course. This is done by monitoring passage through each CP. Additionally, a physical witness marker will be used for each competitor at the CP—either a card that will be stamped by the arbitrators, colored ribbons attached to the handlebar, or another system (to be announced later).

Important Protocols:

Report any issues—such as injured competitors, route irregularities, or technical problems—to the arbitrators at the nearest CP immediately.
In serious cases, contact the Competition Director directly using one of the emergency phone numbers provided found on the sticker with the competition number. Share the injured person's approximate location, GPS coordinates (if available), and a description of the situation.
If there is no signal, pass the information to another competitor (do not leave the injured person alone) who can relay the message once signal is available. Signal is usually found in higher-altitude areas.
The time spent helping others will be deducted from your total race time, so competitors are expected to assist when needed.
All competitors must carry a charged mobile phone capable of making calls while on the route, as well as a functional flashlight.

If a competitor arrives at a CP after the official route closure, they are not allowed to continue and must return to the camp using the path indicated by the arbitrators or in their company. Ignoring this rule results in disqualification.

ABANDON

If a competitor decides to abandon the race, it is mandatory to notify the Competition Director as soon as possible—either by phone or in person. Failure to report abandonment may lead to unnecessary search and rescue operations, in which case the competitor will be held responsible for covering the associated costs.

DISPUTES

All disputes must be submitted in writing to the competition secretariat within 30 minutes of the provisional results being posted. Each dispute must be accompanied by the GPS recording of the route. A dispute fee of €100 (or the equivalent in RON) must be paid at the time of submission. This fee will be refunded only if the dispute is upheld.
