Welcome from the Race Director

Hello National Road Series Teams,

Welcome to the Sunshine State and the inaugural Tour de Brisbane.

This is a slightly different road race on Sunday given the road closure for 110kms. State
and Local Governments have worked together to encourage and promote a cycling event
in the city centre and whilst we might not see the cows on the country roads, you will see
a City from bridges, highways and then some rural hills. Our partners – Queensland Police,
Brisbane Marketing and Tourism Events Queensland have been outstanding supporters.

Many teams have lamented over the years as to why we have to race out beyond the back
of Burke, around the gum tree with the finish at the local hotel (nothing wrong with a
country hotel by the way!).

I personally believe cycling needs central locations, with high profile media opportunities
and Brisbane is offering all of this to the NRS.

For year one – the support to develop this event and create a race course in such a short
time-frame from all government departments and agencies is simply amazing. We were
only granted permission to have an event on 17 December and started work middle of
January, thus some delays in information flows as three months is a very short period of
time.

To share some statistics: there are 110 Police, 105 traffic controllers working for your
race. Not to mention we have needed to reroute 80% of the southside, 40% of the
northside of Brisbane’s public transport system.

I urge you to bring your family, your friends and cycling mates to beautiful Brisbane and
support cycling to ensure there is a year two, year three and many more years beyond.

Thank you to the Queensland Government, Brisbane City Council, Redlands City Council,
Logan City Council, and the various stakeholders throughout this journey for bringing cycle
racing into our city.

Ride safe, race hard and enjoy your visit.

Welcome from the Queensland Government

Message from the Minister for Tourism Industry Development The Hon Kate Jones MP

Welcome to the inaugural Brisbane Cycling Festival, proudly supported by the Queensland
Government via Tourism and Events Queensland.

This event combines professional, amateur and mass participation events, including the
UCI Gran Fondo headlining the Tour de Brisbane which invites riders of all skill levels to
share some of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

Brisbane is a growing hub for world-class sporting events, most recently hosting Gold
Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games cycling competition at the state-of-the-art Anna
Meares Velodrome, which will play host to parts of the Brisbane Cycling Festival.

The city also offers visitors a relaxed outdoor lifestyle with scenic bikeways, bustling
riverside culture and thriving food scene. Right on the doorstep of the city are spectacular
islands, beaches and nature experiences for those wanting to further explore the region.

I invite you to experience Brisbane first-hand and mark this exciting new event on your
competition calendar.

The Hon Kate Jones
MP Minister for Tourism Industry Development

Control responses necessary to respond to risk will be managed by the Safety Committee
from the Brisbane Metropolitan Transit Management Centre which has CCTV access
across the course and GPS tracking of Commissaires and Medic vehicles across the full
course.

Early Warning System for threats will be activated via public address, websites, social
media channels and SMS.

Evacuations

Information can be found in the appendix.

Emergency Services Access

This is a closed road race; however, in the event of a critical incident on or surrounding the
event, emergency services will take the fastest response route including the course.

Emergency service access onto the course is fully coordinated by the Incident Command
Centre. Emergency services vehicles on course will whenever possible will be escorted by
police motorbikes and will run their lights and sirens passing riders on the right-hand side.

If you hear the sirens – keep your eyes up and be aware of the passing vehicles.
Emergency services responding to critical incidents always retain the right of way over
racing.

Two Direction Flow

There are three places on course that operate with a two-direction flow during the event.
These areas are highlighted in the mocka and maps are in the appendix.

Cones will be placed in sequence on the centre line throughout these sections to keep
riders and vehicles to the left-hand side of the roadway. Riders and convoy vehicles must

Duty of Care

NOTE: acceptance of the following is required for participation.

Staying Safe

The Tour de Brisbane is conducted with the consent of the Queensland Police on a course
that offers challenges for riders and requires previous race craft skills.

Race courses are on major freeways, suburban roads, and country laneways, some with
potholes, crumbling edges, no centre lines, blind corners, bridges, tunnels, steep hills, fast
descents, blind rises, farmers, tractors, and very rough surfaces - all which remain
constant threats to inattentive riders.

We urge you to protect yourself:
• Keep your line straight and don’t swerve;
• Eyes up and look ahead;
• Communicate hazards loudly to all riders;
• Stay left, especially when descending;
• Don’t ride across centre lines;

Every effort has been made to ensure your safety while on the course; however if you for
some reason you exit the course, you must obey local traffic laws.

Bike racing is a high risk activity and each rider must know the course, and protect
themselves. The Tour de Brisbane provides an inner city racing opportunity on a variety of
road ways.

Riders who race recklessly will be disqualified immediately. We urge you to place safety
first and the podium last.

Rules and Regulations

As a participant, I agree:
• The Queensland Road Rules apply and the regulations of Cycling Australia;
• Officials will be treated with respect;
• To be bound by the Code of Conduct;
• To not place at risk another rider, an official, or the public.

SOUTH BANK VENUE

© NX Sports Community Foundation Limited 2019 26

TOUR DE BRISBANE

This is the big one - you’ve heard it all already: four expressways, three tunnels, two
bridges, and one epic climb up Coot-tha. This course is designed to showcase the
Sunshine State’s capital and gives teams ample opportunity to profile their riders and
sponsors on a big stage.

The 110km Tour de Brisbane starts and finishes from South Bank, rolling through the
CBD and along the riverside.

Passing the vantage point at the landmark Regatta Hotel on Coronation Drive, riders head
up Hale Street, to the Inner City Bypass before reaching the first technical turn into the
Legacy Way Tunnel.

Riders then take another technical turn out of the tunnel and begin to climb Mt Coot-tha.
For the first time ever a peloton will attack the mountain and there will be plenty of action
on both the front side ascent and backside descent.

Returning to the city via the southern tube of the Legacy Tunnel riders face two more
technical turns before a chicane through the cultural precinct.

The busway gives plenty of opportunity for riders to re gather their leaders and we expect
a lot of ground can be gained before exiting at Eight Mile Plains station onto Miles Platting
Road.

The scenery changes from urban to natural through Rochedale, before riders are met
with the pesky and perky hills on Ford and Avalon Roads in Sheldon. Those familiar know
that this will give the field a robust challenge at the pointy end of the morning race.

The busway return will give riders a final chance to set their positions before a final
technical turn onto Grey Street and a sprint past the noise, spectators and excitement at
the finish.

Our thanks goes to the 100+ Queensland Police and 110+ Traffic Controllers on site
helping secure the region for your race.

Convoy Code Of Conduct

The Convoy Code of Conduct applies to all vehicles involved in Race Convoy operations
whether involved with the conduct of the race itself or while performing a role that
interfaces with the convoy operations and/or occurs within the race envelope:

Team Cars Race Director Vehicle
Judges Technical Director Vehicle
Commissaires Cars & Motorbikes Media Neutral Support Cars & Motorbikes
& Broadcast Cars Police Cars & Motorbikes
Photographer & Broadcast Motorbikes Moto Scouts
Medical Cars Lead Car & Sag Wagon

Compulsory Convoy Behaviours

Note: the term ‘vehicle’ refers to both cars and motorbikes.
Note: the term ‘driver’ applies to both car drivers and motorbike pilots

All drivers must attend the Convoy Operations Meeting to undergo a race specific convoy
operations briefing. Date and time will be detailed in the Tech Regs. If this meeting clashes
with other activities, it is the responsibility of the driver to liaise with the Chief Commissaire
to receive these instructions separately.

Failure to attend the Convoy Operations Meeting or actively seek out these instructions
may result in not being able to start.

Misconduct that breaches CA regulations will be disciplined by the Chief Commissaire.
Misconduct that breaches overall race safety and integrity will be disciplined by the Race
Director and/or the Police as appropriate.

At the head of the Convoy is the Police vehicle marked Pilot Car. Vehicles ahead of this
vehicle are considered out of the Convoy.

The tail of the Convoy is the Police vehicle marked Tail End Car. Vehicles behind this vehicle
are considered out of the Convoy.

Drivers (particularly cars) must gain permission to pass any large group of riders from the
commissaire behind that group.

When passing through the convoy, vehicles must only travel marginally faster than the
riders, and use short sharp toots of the horn to indicate passing. Drivers must check
mirrors before deviating left or right.

Wherever possible vehicles should pass the riders on the right hand side of the riders as
per normal Australian road rules. When passing on the left hand side, drivers must use
extreme care and ensure that the rider is fully aware of your intentions to take the inside
line. Drivers must check mirrors before deviating left or right.

When travelling within the race envelope, you must not travel more than 20km/hr above
the speed of the race. Due to high density foot and vehicle traffic, particularly around
schools and shopping strips, safety is paramount. To travel any more than 20km/hr
above the speed of the race, is dangerous, unnecessary and unacceptable. Unnecessary
speeding will be severely dealt with.

When travelling outside the race envelope drivers must obey all normal road rules and
posted speed limits. The Tail End Car will endeavour to wait for any vehicle stopped (to
service a rider, roadside repairs, call of nature) however, extended delays create the risk
of leakage from other road users into the envelope, which in turn puts the entire convoy at
risk. Extended delays cannot and will not be accommodated. Failure to obey road rules
once outside the race envelope may result in infringement notices (fines) being issued by
the Police.

Vehicles must not overtake riders within the final 1km approach to a sprint, KOM or finish
line.

All convoy cars must deviate at the designated deviation point at the finish line under the
direction of the Technical Director. Exceptions to this rule are the Commissaires,
Broadcast Motorbikes and Sag Wagon.

Convoy vehicles must be less than 1.66 metres high.

Convoy vehicles must adhere to the Convoy Assembly Times & Locations as listed in the
Technical Guide.

Note

Rule 3.98.43 will be monitored and enforced
