UAE Road Cycling Championship - Stage 2
“Best Event 2018 - Everything was outstanding planinge, Communications, Organization. one simple thing is the start was a bit late. many thanks”
“A nice experience - A very good organization and a huge improvement vs. what we were used to when the Federation organized a race in the past. Great location, safety, live results, people knowning what they're supposed to do... Cons? The same as in Stage 1: Poor pre-race communication, very expensive entry fee. Also, although it was a cycling ITT, a lot of the bikes were outside UCI regulations. I'm not suggesting DSQ them, but at least bring a regulator stand and explain to the rides why their bikes were illegal.”
“Well organised, great experience. - Great event, good organisation. Could use some better pre-event communication to attract more participants. The staff on teh ramp could have used some practice on how sending off riders. That was all a bit shaky there possibly due to inexperience. Aside from that it was great.”
“Near perfect! - Very well done in almost all aspects. Loved the ramp, the course and the location. Would definitely do it again without a doubt. The only area for improvement is the the pre-event communication where it seems not everyone got the emails regarding road closures and so forth and the organiser's website got updated quite late the day before.”
“well organized event - Very well organized. Communication was great once received. Course was excellent as was the location itself. Only the starting ramp should have been wider or lower or somehow different. It was scary to stand on top and the gentleman holding was not too sure what to do at first. I think he got better throughout though. ”
“Very good event! - One of the best cycling event organizations I have been in the UAE. Very safe (all roads closed!) and very good signage (with so many turns, impossible to get lost). Great job.”
“Great course. Closed roads. Well organized. - The course is impeccable with the exception of a couple of -not very high- speed bumpers. The roads were closed to traffic and the asphalt was in pristine condition. Small snacks like croissants, muffins,bananas,etc were available for participants as well coffee and water. More than enough for a 30minutes ride/effort. The event was well organized!”
