bis U-turns (1) U-turns on the course shall be installed and protected such as riders may not hold on the pole or on the barrier in the centre of the U-turns (article introduced on ).

4. PART 5 Cyclo-cross
bis U-turns (2) Objective: new specification on the course’s U-turn so that riders may not hold on pole or barriers. This kind of help gives an advantage to the rider whose trajectory or position close to the inner lane of the course allows it and not to other riders. Thus, this is an inequality matter.

6. PART 5 Cyclo-cross
bis U-turns (4) Commissaires are not asked to penalise riders if they hold on to one barrier or pole.
