| National
Escort Group (NEG) |
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.
