For all stages, the material regulations of the competition regulations for road racing of the BDR (WB Straße) point 4.2 paragraph 2; paragraph 4 and 4.3 paragraph 4 must be observed.

Violators will be charged 2 penalty seconds per kilometer driven.

Material regulations of the BDR 4.2

In the female and male junior categories Pupils (U15, U13) and Female Youth U17 the use of the following materials is generally not allowed, also during the time trial.

• Wheels with less than 12 spokes and disc wheels
• so-called horn, delta or triathlon handlebars
• Handlebar attachments of all kinds

If morphologically necessary, 24-inch wheels with at least 24 spokes may also be used in the U 15, U 13 age group.

Material regulations of the BDR 4.3 (paragraph 4)

Permitted maximum ratios

U 13 5,66 m

U 15 6,10 m

U 17 6,10 m

Only the payoff length is decisive for checking the gear ratio limitations. The run-out length is the distance covered by a wheel in one complete crank revolution.

If larger gear ratios would be possible on the used road bike, the maximum permissible gear ratio can be adjusted by a mechanical blockade. However, a simple blocking of the smaller sprockets (larger ratios) by an adjusting screw is not permitted due to the risk of manipulation.

The gear ratio and wheel check for each rider: will be carried out before the start in the individual time trial and team time trial. In the mass start competitions, the first 20 of each race immediately after the finish.

Since the U17w riders are integrated in teams of the U15m/w, the translation restriction of the U15m/w applies also to them.

Scorecard:

Overall scores in all classes for individual, sprint and junior (younger age group).

The overall individual classification is based on time. At the Karl-Marx-Allee stage (full stage), there will be 10, 6 and 3 seconds time credit for the top 3 finishers (no division into classes/only the top 3 riders of the entire race). During the circuit races in Tempelhof and at the Olympic Stadium (half stage) there will be 6, 4 and 2 seconds time credit for the top 3 finishers. In addition, during the mass start races there are sprint classifications in which 3, 2 and 1 second time credit can be won.

The overall leader's jersey will be awarded only after the circuit race on the first day of the race. On the second day of the race, it will be awarded after the individual time trial and after the circuit race. The team classification is also based on time, but for each stage the time of the best three riders of the team will be added. Time credits are not included in the team classification. For the team time trial the time of the team is taken into account. The three best teams in each of the classes U13 and U15+U17w will be honored as overall team winners at the end of the tour.

The sprint jersey is awarded in each class. For this purpose, there are sprint laps in the circuit races, in which the first four riders win 5-3-2-1 points each, regardless of gender. Each point won is included in the sprint classification. In the circuit race on the Karl-Marx-Allee, the first rider of each lap will receive 2 points and the second 1 point, regardless of gender. In the mass start races, 12-8-5-3-2-1 points will be awarded to the first-place finishers at the finish. After each stage, the leader in the sprint classification receives the green jersey and wears it on the next stage.

The green jersey will be awarded on the first day only after the circuit race and on the second day only after the sprint eliminator and the circuit race.

In each class, the best female junior rider will be honored with the white jersey. The best young female rider is the best placed rider in the individual classification among all riders of the younger age group of the respective class. The white jersey will be awarded on the first day only after the circuit race and on the second day only after the individual time trial and after the circuit race.

For each stage, the most combative or fairest rider(s) will be chosen by the jury and honored with the red jersey (per race day, one red jersey will be awarded among all male participants and one red jersey among all female participants). The jersey may be worn on the next stage.
