► LOGISTICS
Take a close look at the attached map containing the course, all relevant places and walking routes

► WHERE TO GO
When arriving in Roosendaal, this is the right order of places to go (see attached map):

  1. Number, chip and wristband pick-up
  2. Warm-up and athlete area

► FIRST: NUMBER, CHIP AND WRISTBAND PICK-UP
Everyone arriving at the event site first must head over to Number & Chip pick-up at the Herstaco Stadium, Borchwerf 4, 4704RG Roosendaal (https://goo.gl/maps/n5aKpn3X4Zr). See location number 1 on the attached map. Here you will get your wristband, necessary to enter the course and warm-up area.

IMPORTANT!

  • Regular NL Crit Series competitors need to bring their own race number and timing chip
  • Bring an ID card as a deposit for borrowing a timing chip. You will get this back when you return your chip after the race

► SUPPORTERS
Every rider is allowed to bring one supporter for free. You will get an extra wristband for this person at Number & Chip Pick-up. All other supporters need to buy a ticket. This is possible online at http://dedraai.nl/tickets/ (only in Dutch) costing 20 Euro. It’s a decision of the main organization of the Draai van de Kaai to charge an entrance fee for every spectator. We prefer that it’s free for everyone, but it’s outside our span of control

► SHOWERS AND DRESSING ROOMS
These are located at the same location as the Number & Chip Pick-up, in the Herstaco Stadium. This place is guarded and safe to leave your valuables

► CAR PARK
Competitors can park their car for free at the Herstaco Stadium, same location where the Number & Chip Pick-up is located

► WHEN ARRIVING BY CAR
On highway A17 you must take exit number 20 to reach the Herstaco Stadium

► WHEN ARRIVING BY TRAIN
Take the train to Roosendaal train station. From there it’s a 10min walk to the Herstaco Stadion. See walking route #1 on the map

► AFTER NUMBER & CHIP PICK-UP
When you got your race number and timing chip head over to the warming up area. See location and walking route #2 on the map. This route may look a little different in real life due to numerous building sites which may demand some detours. Please note: it is possible to leave some of your stuff in a tent, but it is not guarded like it is in the Herstaco Stadion

► BIKE CHECK
Get your bike checked when arriving at the warm-up area. When proven okay you will get a nice little stamp

► WARM UP AREA
A limited number of Tacx rollers will be placed in the Warm-up area. If you have a roller yourself, make sure you bring it

► RETURN OF TIMING CHIP
After the race bring back your timing chip at our registration desk in the Herstaco Stadium

► AFTER THE RACE
