Please Note: Why No Rider Times or Positions? British Cycling supports the concept that events are timed in order to provide individual rider feedback for the completion of an event, or specific route. It has proven popular to include a breakdown of the overall time, by publicising split or stage times, which may be used specifically to offer feedback over sections of particularly challenging terrain. The stage times, or overall event time must not however propose, market, or encourage the participants in any way or form to compete against one rider or another. Events or stages which encourage inter-participant competition may invalidate the insurance provided. Publication of times - event times should be presented as a list of riders who have completed the route and should be displayed as time rather than event results. The following requirements discourage the nature of competition in non-competitive events: 1,Organisers must not publish a list of riders ranked by finishing times, nor in any way indicate the order in which riders finished 2, Alphabetical name order is the only appropriate format to display event times 3, The awarding of prizes cannot be given on event placings. The use of a podium indicates the event was of a competitive nature, so should not be used. Failure to comply with the above guidelines may invalidate the event insurance.
