Material determinations:

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) 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

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 transmission and wheel check for each male and female 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.

Stage overview:

Scoring jerseys:

• Yellow - jersey for the overall leader(s) in each class, so 4 jerseys for U13m, U13w, U15m and U15w. The yellow jersey will be awarded after each stage.
• Green - jersey for the leader(s) of the sprint classification in each class, so also 4 jerseys. The green jersey is not awarded after the team time trial and not after the individual time trial.
• White - jersey for the best of the younger age group in the overall classification, 4 jerseys. The white jersey is awarded after each stage.
• Red jersey for the most combative or fairest rider of the race day. One girl and one boy in the U13 and U15 class will be honored per race day, 4 jerseys per race day.

If a rider leads in more than one classification, the order of classification is: Yellow - Green - White. These leading jerseys must be worn on the next stage. The red jersey may be worn on the next stage. If the leader in the junior jersey (white) or sprint jersey (green) has a higher value jersey, the next best rider in the special classification will wear the leader's jersey as a substitute on the next stage.

Scorecard:

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

The overall individual classification is based on time. In the stage at the Olympic Stadium (full stage), there are 10, 6 and 4 seconds time credit for the three first-place finishers (in the U13, the time credits are given to the first three male and the first three female riders in each race, even if the fields have run together). During the Tempelhof circuit races, there will be 6, 4 and 2 seconds of time credit for the top three finishers. In addition, during the mass start races, there are sprint scores where 3,2 and 1 second time credit can be won (U13 respectively for the first three male and the first three female riders in the sprint round).

The leader's jersey in the overall classification and the junior classification will be awarded after each half stage, i.e. after the Tempelhof-RR, the Tempelhof-MZF, the Tempelnof-EZF, the Tempelhof-RR and after the final race at the Olympic Stadium.

The team classification is also based on time, but for each stage the time of the best three riders of the team is added. Time credits are not included in the team classification. For the team time trial the ridden time of the team will be taken into account. The three best teams in each of the classes U13, U15m and U15w will be honored as overall team winners at the end of the tour.

Since the winner's time of the male and female riders will be different in the U13 circuit races, and to reduce advantage/disadvantage in team composition, the winner's time of both genders will each be set to 0:00:00 for the overall team standings. The distances will remain the same and will be scored.

In each class the sprint jersey will be contested. For this purpose, there are sprint laps in the circuit races, in which the first four riders win 5-3-2-1 points each (if the field is merged in the U13, the first three male and the first three female riders still get points). Each point won will be included in the sprint classification. In the mass start races, 10-7-5-3-2-1 points will be awarded to the first-place finishers at the finish (for U13, points will be awarded to the first six male riders and the first six female riders). After each stage, the leader in the sprint classification receives the green jersey and wears it in the next stage.

Since there are no points to be gained for the green jersey in the MZF and EZF, the green jersey will be awarded after the MZF and EZF not reassigned.

In each class, the best male and female junior rider will be honored with the white jersey. The best junior male and female rider is the best placed male and female rider in the individual ranking among all riders of the younger age group of the respective class.

For each stage, the most combative or fairest rider will be chosen by the jury and honored with the red jersey. One red jersey will be awarded per race day for each age group and gender. The jersey may be worn on the next stage.

Other Provisions:

In the mass start competitions there will be a registration check before the start, which will be closed 10 minutes before the start.

Electronic means of communication (e.g. radio) are prohibited. 

Support vehicles are generally not permitted.

Allowed material changes and regulations about lap compensation in case of crash or defect will be communicated by the jury directly before the respective stage.

If a rider cannot finish a stage because of a crash or defect, he/she will be scored in the daily classification with a time of 120% of the time of the last of his/her race and will be allowed to start at the next stage. During the last stages, riders who are about to lose laps in the first 2/3 of the race (U13 - 4 laps, U15 - 7 laps) may be taken out of the race and scored as described above.

In case of a fall or a defect on the last 3 km, respectively at the 2nd circuit race on the Tempelhofer Flugfeld on the last lap in the mass start competitions, the athlete concerned will receive the riding time from the group he/she was in.
