Letter from the Race Director On behalf of the race committee, welcome to the 38th annual Joe Martin Stage Race. For those who are first time participants, we want to thank you for making the trip. We’re excited that this is our 38th consecutive year as an amateur event; 13th consecutive year to be part of the National Race Calendar and our first year on the UCI America Tour calendar. The Joe Martin Stage Race has been and continues to be successful because of your support as teams and individuals. We feel very fortunate to once again have some of the top cyclists not only from across the USA, but from around the world competing in Northwest Arkansas. The goal of the Joe Martin Stage Race is to bring a nationally and internationally competitive field of cyclists to our area and to expose our community to an exciting, colorful sport. I encourage you to enjoy some of the local flavor, get to know our residents, and take in some of the beautiful countryside as you’re rolling past. It’s an honor and a privilege to have each of you at our race, and we hope and pray that you will have a safe, successful weekend. Please feel free to give the volunteers, our race committee or me feedback on how we can continue to make the race even better in the years to come. Best of luck and God bless, Bruce Dunn Race Director 3 Table of Contents LETTER FROM THE RACE DIRECTOR................................................................................3 2015 JOE MARTIN STAGE RACE COMMITTEE..................................................................5 2015 JOE MARTIN STAGE RACE PRINCIPAL OFFICIALS...............................................5 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS............................................................................................................6 TIME TRIAL, ROAD RACE, CRITERIUM..............................................................................7 GENERAL RULES................................................................................................................7 TIME TRIAL.........................................................................................................................7 ROAD STAGE.....................................................................................................................7 CRITERIUM..........................................................................................................................8 TIMINGS AND CLASSIFICATION.........................................................................................8 JUNIORS INFORMATION.....................................................................................................8 STAGE 1 - TIME TRIAL: SATURDAY, APRIL 25..........................................................10 STAGE 2 - ROAD RACE: SATURDAY, APRIL 25...........................................................12 STAGE 3 - CRITERIUM: SUNDAY, APRIL 26................................................................15 USAC PRIZES AND AWARDS.........................................................................................17 RACE SUPPORTERS - RESTAURANTS.........................................................................18 4 Race Staff, Officials & Offices 2015 JOE MARTIN STAGE RACE COMMITTEE Inger Bakaric Sponsor Liaison Mandy Blackwood Assistant Race Director Bob Cable Communication/Transportation Dana Cable VIP Events Cindy CreelMerchandise Robert Davis Course Signage / Logistics Morgan Dours Social Media Bruce Dunn Race Director Miles Eason Presenting Sponsor Liaison Leon Evans Presenting Sponsor Liaison Tom Ewart Media/Photography Jeff Genova Operations and Logistics Kenda Grover Associate Race Director Amy Johnson Merchandise/Results/Awards/Prizes Paul Johnson Technical Support Paul Kuehn Law Enforcement Dean LaGrone Pro Team Liaison Margie Moldenhauer Volunteers Carmen Newberry Volunteer Coordinator Jessica Norris UofA Intern Tammy Overacker Transportation Darrell Slaughter Motorcycle Marshalls Hunter Stafford UofA Intern Quin Thompson Finish Line Mary Lou Wender Vendor Expo 2015 JOE MARTIN STAGE RACE PRINCIPAL OFFICIALS Darrell Webb Chief Official Steve SlawsonChief Judge George HeagertyTechnical Director AGR Technology, Inc.

Riders completing 50% or more who are pulled by the Chief Referee or designee will receive a pro-rated calculated finish time based upon the assumption the riders will continue to race at a slower speed.
