Precautions During Course Reconnaissance

Dear Participants,

As many of you are currently out on the course in preparation for the Niseko Classic, we regret to inform you that we have already received complaints from local residents regarding improper behavior during reconnaissance rides.

This event is made possible thanks to the understanding and cooperation of the local community.

To ensure the continued success of the Niseko Classic in the years to come, we ask that all riders uphold sportsmanship and proper etiquette, even during course reconnaissance.

If any violations are observed, our staff will issue warnings on the spot.

Please be advised that repeated or serious misconduct may result in disqualification from the race.

For a safe and enjoyable reconnaissance, please observe the following:

①Riding side by side is prohibited.

②Do not litter.

③Strictly follow all traffic rules (signals, signs, etc.).

④Be considerate of general traffic and pedestrians.

⑤Avoid reckless overtaking or sudden changes in direction.

⑥Ride only during daylight hours and always prioritize safety.

To help you perform at your best on race day, please take extra care to avoid accidents or injuries during your pre-ride.

We kindly ask that you ride with gratitude and respect for the local community, and always put safety first.
