What happens if I break down?
If you break down, when it is safe to do so, move your motorcycle so it does not obscure the track. Stand in a safe position on the side of the road and flag down another rider for assistance as they may be able to transport you to a manned checkpoint or get help. Alternatively, if you have reception, you can message our recovery team on Discord. Please do not wave our sweep riders on if you need assistance. Be clear that you need help so that we can assist you. When it is safe to do so, we will help you retrieve your motorcycle and you can try repairing it at camp.
