President’s Message

On behalf of the Oceania Cycling Confederation, it is a great pleasure to welcome all athletes,
team managers and staff, officials, volunteers and supporters to the 2019 Oceania Road
Championships.

We will be sure to witness exceptional performances from elite and aspiring athletes from across
the Oceania region including from Australia, New Zealand, Cook Islands, Fiji, Guam, Vanuatu,
New Caledonia and Tahiti in under 19 and elite categories.

Held in Tasmania for the second year running, the spectacular terrain of Tasmania's Evandale
and Railton provides challenging courses for the riders as they battle for the Oceania Champion’s
jersey.

Many athletes will be competing in their first international event, while the more seasoned
competitors will be aiming to represent their country at the 2019 UCI Road World
Championships in Yorkshire, Great Britain in September as well as secure qualifying points for
the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

The Championships are positioned as culmination of the 2019 UCI Oceania Tour, with UCI status
and points, providing an important opportunity for athletes in the Oceania region to compete
against some of the world’s best on home soil.

To Cycling Australia, Cycling Tasmania, the Tasmanian Government, Devonport Council and
Central Coast Council, event partners Buckby Motors, St Lukes Health and Country Club
Tasmania, race officials, support services, team managers and crew, and the many community
volunteers, I extend our gratitude for your contributions that we know will ensure a successful
championship.

Finally, to the athletes who have travelled from far and wide to compete, I wish you all the very
best at the 2019 Oceania Road Championships as you strive to realise your goals in cycling.

Radio Comunications

During the road races in these Championships, the use of radio links or any other means of
communication with the riders is not permitted. ITT may use radio links.

States who are in the convoy must bring their own radio which can be used on UHF 17.

Neutralisation

If for any reason conditions warrant the race will be neutralised. In such circumstances a red flag will
be displayed from the leading vehicle.

                                                                                                15

Littering

Riders must not discard bidons or rubbish of any kind on the roadside. Riders must take responsibility
for their own litter and return it to the support vehicle. Rider’s found to be littering will be fined in
accordance with local laws and technical regulations. A litter zone will be provided 50m before and
100m after the feed zone.

Urinating

Riders are advised that it is an offence to urinate in public. Penalties will be imposed on those who
choose to ignore this law.

This applies to cars in convoys as well! – any team car members observed urinating in public will be
expelled from the convoy. There are public toilets in the township of Railton and at the start-finish
area. Tasmania Police may also charge people for urinating in public.

Rolling Road Closure

The rolling road closure will only apply for the road race stage conducted under the control of
Tasmania Police and local authorities.

Please be aware that at the discretion of Tasmania Police, riders off the back of the main peloton may
be deemed to be outside the race envelope. As a result standard road rules will apply. If a rider is
passed by the ‘tail end’ Police car this is an indication that the rider is outside of the road closure.

Riders outside the race envelope on the last lap may be withdrawn by the Commissaires.

Time Trial – The road will be fully closed, but as it is an out and back course – riders must remain on
the left hand side of the road.
