the competitor acknowledges;

• that despite the clear commitment of the organization to guarantee
  participants the maximum safety reasonably possible, there are still residual risks (also called “sporting risks”); which cannot be eliminated because they are intrinsic to the cycling discipline itself;
• to be aware that many other people will participate in the event, whose level of skill and cycling technique is unknown, and that therefore there could be situations of crowding on the route that could increase the risk of accidents and crashes between participants;
• to have chosen to participate in the event of their own free will and under their own personal responsibility, aware that, as in any sporting event, there could be risks of injury or accident;
• to assume full responsibility for the so-called “sporting risk”, making this decision using their good reason and full awareness. The competitor therefore considers themself solely responsible for riding their bicycle during the event in
  question, both along the route of the event and within the area of the event, obviously considering that such responsibility applies both towards himself and towards third-parties.

  cycling, to make the event safe and avoid the occurrence of accidents and damage to people and things, also providing for an adequate safety plan in case of need.
