For each participant, of both Italian and foreign residence, the certificate of suitability for participation must have an expiry date no earlier than the race day.

Italian subjects who are not in possession of any licence will have to apply for the daily card.
Foreign subjects who do not have the UCI licence, with the enrolment to the race, self-certify that they are in possession of R.C.’s and accident’s insurance, thus making the request of the daily card not compulsory.
The event is open to all, but the Organizing Committee may at any time and at its sole discretion decide whether or not to accept the registration or exclude a member from the event in case it may damage the image of the event itself.
All participants must be aware of the various risks for their physical safety and consciously take responsibility for participating in the race at their own risk.

For what is not specified above, the regulation of the GranFondo applies.

RACE CANCELLATION

The race will take place regardless of the weather conditions, except in special circumstances that put at serious risk the safety of competitors or in case of natural disasters (and in any case for reasons not attributable to the organization).
In this case, the participation fee will be neither refunded nor recognized for the following year.

CANCELLATION OF REGISTRATION

In case an entrant is unable to participate, the entry fee will not be refunded. Upon notification no later than the deadline of 8 p.m. on the Saturday of the week preceding the Race, the entry will be held valid for the next edition upon payment of the fee of €10 as secretarial expenses.
This will not be possible for cumulative entries to the various circuits. Registration may be transferred for one year only and is exclusively nominative. It will be possible, directly on the spot, to replace a competitor upon payment of the fee of € 10 as secretarial expenses.

WARNING: it will not be possible to start in front of the mats. Those who do not have the detection devices on the starting mats and on the route will be excluded from the rankings.

TIMING

ONE CHIP: Great news in the amateur cycling world!

It is now possible to take part in Italian events timed by MySDAM, Krono Service, TDS and Winning Time timers with a single chip!

So it will no longer be a problem to choose which type of chip to bring with you, but with just one you can compete throughout the season.

For Krono Service (red chip) and Winning Time (yellow chip and Nove Colli edition) chip holders, just choose one, enable it, and use it at will on the races in Italy timed by the aforementioned timers.

The activation and purchase of the chips online must be carried out only and exclusively on ENDU, while during the races it will be possible to do so at the “Punto Chip” located near the race secretariats.

All owners of the MySDAM chip and who do not have a chip among those listed above can replace their old chip with the OneChip by taking it to the Punto Chip and paying only for the activation.
