When arriving at the start point for the timed stage the timing marshal will give you a minute to start the stage, this will be a delay of three minutes, you should proceed into the start area, wait for your minute (3 minutes) and then start the stage. The timing marshal will make a note of your start time there is no need for the rider to make a note of the start time. The rider then rides the timed stage, at the end of the timed stage there will be a warning marker board for the end of the timing and an actual end marker, this is a flying finish so go through the end of the timing point at speed. There will then be countdown boards for approximately 400m this will allow you to slow down and to STOP at the timing marshals point. Here your race number will be confirmed and the timing marshal will make a note of your finish time. Again there is no need for riders to make a note of this time. But you must STOP. This is the procedure at each timed stage. Stage Marking Times stage marking: this is marked by orange arrows following the convention above. N.B.
