Just to confirm a point reached at the forum we held at CGC earlier this year, that ALL racing groups including the elite mens and ladies results will be confirmed by CSA officials on the line But the original and backing results will be supplied by Race tec. Therefore ANY cyclist in any group wanting a time, a result and to be eligible for prize money will need to be wearing a VALID Racetec chip when competing in the Cycle Challenge 2011. There is no negotiation on this.
In order to facilitate this – I am suggesting that the Pro teams and elite riders ensure this is in place well before the Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge, and that Race tec , CSA and all those to be involved are made aware of this and the message is fully understood prior to the event. Please send this onto all team managers and cyclists.
There is further need for this as the TV production will be linking into the chip for real time information on route.
Please see point 5 in the terms of conditions of entry, to which all entrants have to tick or sign in order to enter the event.
5. RaceTec, previously Winning Time, is the official timing company to the Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge 2011. If you wish to receive an official time you must wear your personal RaceTec Chip. All licensed racing groups competing for prize money MUST wear a Racetec Chip to be eligible for a result and prize money. If you do not wear a Racetec Chip you will not receive a result. No protest will be entertained in this regard. RaceTec Chips can be purchased directly from RaceTec on 086 184 6464 or queries@racetec.co.za.
Kind Regards,
