Rankings RiderMan:

Daily ranking from the result of all starters (stage riders and day starters!);

Overall ranking by adding the race times of the three stages, including bonus seconds at the finish and when taking part in the bonus sprint

Mountain prize classification by adding up the points won in the three stages

Time bonuses (only for stage riders):
On the 2nd and 3rd stage there is a bonus sprint classification in the last 10 kilometers before the finish as well as time bonuses for the overall classification at the finish. In the bonus sprint classifications and at the finish, the top four finishers receive a bonus of 10, 6, 4 and 2 seconds, regardless of age group and gender.

Timing:

The timing is carried out using a transponder by the RiderMan's timing partner. The transponder is a one-way transponder that is integrated into the seat bib number. This will be issued upon accreditation together with the race documents. The participant is responsible for correctly attaching the transponder; in this regard, the timekeeper's instructions in the starting documents must be strictly observed. Times are recorded at the start, at checkpoints on the course and at the finish line. The times are recorded in hours, minutes and seconds (hrs : min : sec), the other digits after the decimal point are not taken into account. If there is a tie in the overall result, the better placement on the last stage always decides.

Special regulations for the individual time trial:

Drafting is not permitted and will result in a time penalty or, if repeated, in disqualification. The minimum distance to the athlete in front must be at least 2 meters after overtaking. After one kilometer the distance between the two athletes must be at least 25 meters!

Leader jerseys:

Participants in the 3-stage race at RiderMan undertake to wear the leader's jerseys (individual and mountain classification) provided by the organizer during the race. If the leader of the RiderMan overall ranking is also the leader of the mountain ranking, the second-placed rider in the mountain ranking will wear the mountain ranking leader's jersey. The overall leaders (men and women) receive the yellow leader's jersey of the overall leader and have to wear it, as they are also the overall leaders in their age group. The leader's jersey of the age group must be worn by the runner-up in the respective age group.

Route closure & compliance with minimum speeds:

Athletes who cannot maintain the specified minimum speed according to the time table will be removed from the race by the race director. The minimum speeds of the respective races can be found in the time tables. The instructions of the police and the race management must be strictly followed.

Bicycle/equipment:

All two-wheeled bicycles that are technically in perfect condition are permitted according to the racing regulations of the Association of German Cyclists. Helmets are required. Failure to comply may result in disqualification.
