    Regarding using oncoming lanes, two sections that are not settled by press time are the highway sections of Fridays road race. Pay attention at the start line for final instructions. Also note, the two railroad crossings on Bolles Rd will be covered on the RIGHT SIDE only.

    Racers that fall behind the following sheriff vehicle must obey the rules of the road including the centerline rule.

    Wheel Support:

    There will be no wheel support for Stage 1 Wilson Hollow Time Trial. Riders who suffer a verified mishap and cannot finish their time trial will be given the time of the slowest finisher in their category and allowed to start the next stage. Riders who suffer mishaps during their time trial MUST check in with the Chief Judge at the finish line immediately. See the section for the Stage 1 Wilson Hollow Time Trial for details.

    For the Stage 2 Waitsburg Road Race and Stage 4 Kellogg Hollow Road Race wheel support will be on a wheels in-wheels out basis. If the space inside the wheel support cars cannot accommodate the number of wheels provided by the riders the wheel support will be deemed neutral.

    For categories where a second support car is being used, the second support car will be supplied by the riders from the Wheels in / Wheels Out or Neutral wheels protocol.

    Protocol for Wheels in / Wheels Out o When a rider flats the rider shall stop alongside the right hand side of the road

    with their arm in the air. If that rider placed a wheel(s) in the wheel support vehicle(s) they will only receive that wheel(s). A record will be kept of who received which wheels.

    Protocol for Neutral Wheels o When a rider flats the rider shall stop alongside the right hand side of the road

    with their arm in the air. A wheel will be provided to the rider from a wheel support vehicle. A record will be kept of who received which wheels. Racers taking a wheel must return the wheel immediately after the stage. The wheel is NOT for use for the rest of the weekend. The owner of the wheel needs it back and the flatted or damaged wheel will be returned to its owner.

    At the end of each stage race wheels are returned to a designated pick-up location. Tour of Walla Walla staff will be placed at the wheel pick-up location to monitor who is picking up which wheels.

The rider shall be given their actual place across the finish line, or last in the stage if the rider is unable to cross the finish line. This rule shall not apply in cases of a hill climb finish.
