General rules
Since it is impossible to foresee everything in advance in general regulations special cases are to be decided case by case by the event organizers. There are warnings, time penalties, fines and disqualifications. In a case of immediate disqualification from the event, there is no compensation of any kind.
Safety, sportsmanship and fair-play are the general values, expected both by cyclist and by their companions, but also by the event management. The respective cyclist or team captain is also responsible for the behaviors of his companions. Even the misconduct of the companion can lead to disqualification of the event participant.
