Rules for the Škoda Adventure

Concept

The creation of this classification aims to evoke the most adventurous spirit of the Škoda Titan Desert and the values it promotes. These should be shared and observed by all the participants, and they are: honesty, fair play, adventure, self-sufficiency and camaraderie.

Assistance

Any kind of assistance from anyone outside the classification is forbidden.

  • No material from support services and/or competitors outside the Škoda Adventure classification can be accepted.
  • Help from people outside the Škoda Adventure classification is forbidden.
  • No external physiotherapy/muscle recovery services may be used.

The exceptions to this rule, i.e. the cases when assistance can be obtained, are:

  • During the race, by any competitor outside the classification, provided that the assistance does not involve the handing over/lending of any bike components.
  • Personal assistance and the lending of spare parts is only allowed among members of the Adventure classification.

Bivouac

The participants in this classification will have separate areas reserved for them that are not shared by the other participants in the race.

  • Haimas (tents): Every night, Škoda Adventure competitors will sleep in a shared tent that is reserved exclusively for them. The only exception is the Marathon Stage, when all competitors in the race will share a common tent.
  • Adventure Space: There will be a special working area for Adventure competitors with tools and material for repairs and general maintenance of the bicycles.

Material

The members of this classification will be provided with a personalised metal case (Width 37 cm; Height 29 cm; Length 53 cm) upon their arrival in Morocco.

This will be the only item that will be transported from bivouac to bivouac. Therefore, all the material you need during the race days should either be packed inside this case or carried by the rider during the stages on his/her own bicycle, backpack, etc.

The box that the competitor takes to the start will be returned at the end of each stage.

The Organisation will not provide any material for overnight stays and/or toiletries for members of this classification, with the exception of the Marathon Stage, when they will be given the same items as the others: flip-flops and towel.

Restricted capacity

This classification will be restricted to 30 people, by strict order of registration. If the 30 places are filled a waiting list will be created, and the people on this list will be contacted if a registered entrant is unable to take part.

The opening of registration for the Škoda Adventure classification coincides with the general opening of registration for the race. As indicated above, it will be closed when the quota of 30 participants is reached, or at April 4th.

Identification

Identification jersey: All participants in the classification must wear the same identification jersey that will be provided by the organization. 3 jerseys will be given per participant.

Scrutineering

For the supervision, monitoring and compliance of the rules, some exclusive technical checks will be made on the same day as the administrative checks for this classification. In these checks, the following will be marked:

  • Connecting rods.
  • Tyres
  • Stem/handlebars
  • Gears
  • Pedals
  • Spare parts

This ensures that the restrictions on material will be observed.

Coordination personnel

The Organization will provide a person to attend to the participants in this classification. Both before and during the event he/she will accompany and assist all the Adventure competitors.

Quitting

In the event of quitting and/or being disqualified from the Škoda Adventure classification, the participant will continue to have the same restrictions of space and material transport but will not appear in the Škoda Adventure classification. He/she will join the individual classification.

Sanctions

In the event of receiving any assistance or any non-compliance with the rules stated here, the participant will be sanctioned with exclusion from the Škoda Adventure classification. He/she will join the individual classification with a time penalty of 5 hours.

The general rules of the race and the associated sanctions will still be applicable.
