The National Escort Group GB was formed by British Cycling and British Triathlon to provide and accredited group of motorcyclists trained to assist with the safety of events held on the public highway and aims to enhance and maximise safety for competitors, officials, and members of the general public alike.

NEG members may be requested to assist with a cycling road race, either working with police motorcyclists in providing a safe route for competitors, or operating where there is no police cover by assisting with the direction of the race, and complimenting static marshals.

They may also assist in the safe passage of the cycling segment of triathlons.

Further Information

Some NEG members may be engaged by the organiser to carry as pillion passengers race officials such as blackboard information, commissaires, medical or race service, or by media companies to carry press photographers or cameramen.

In such cases the NEG member may reasonably expect the organiser or media company to provide a risk assessment of the duties required of the pilot.

Event organisers wishing to engage the services of NEG members should initially contact the appropriate regional coordinator (see right), who will endeavour to put together a group to meet the race requirements.
