Race Information RACE INFORMATION. Riders, team drivers and race officials are advised that roads for AN POST RÁS are not closed to other traffic. Due care should be exercised and responsibility rests with riders and all race drivers to observe the Road Traffic Acts at all times. Where possible, stewards will be in position at relevant road junctions, centre road traffic islands and other road hazards. A series of traffic islands over a short distance may be indicated by a steward at the first traffic island. However, time gaps between groups may make it impossible for stewards to be in position for the passage of all groups. The function of race stewards at road junctions is to indicate direction; responsibility rests with the rider/driver to decide whether the movement is safe. Riders are advised to study the stage finish maps and be aware of the intricacies of each finish so as to be in a position to exercise all due caution.
