Reservation of the right to make changes

We reserve the right to make organisational, scheduling or route-related changes for objective reasons (e.g. participant safety, official requirements, unforeseen route closures or restrictions on access rights). If an announced service (e.g. a particular catering partner, a transfer or accommodation) is unavailable, the organiser will endeavour to provide an equivalent replacement.
In all cases, we will endeavour to preserve the overall character and sporting challenge of the stage race. Participants will be informed of changes at the briefing on the evening before each stage.
Safety comes first. In the event of extreme weather (e.g. storms, strong winds, heatwaves), official prohibitions or other cases of force majeure, race management reserves the right to shorten, neutralise (without timing), reschedule or cancel individual stages. If modifications are necessary for safety reasons, there is no entitlement to a refund or reduction of the entry fee, or to reimbursement of other costs (e.g. travel or hotel expenses).
