A '24hours' means that participants ride on a circuit, competing to clock up the most laps in the time. The

best times count as well as the number of laps.

TEAMS ride in relays, swapping between the various riders. A TEAM can be composed of 2, 4, 8 or 12

riders. SOLO riders compete on their own, without teammates to help share the work.

The 24H of Finale is an event suitable for every type of cyclist. What unites all the participants is their

passion for mountain biking and the desire to have a good time. Depending on the type of team with which

you decide to enter, you will be free to decide how you get the most enjoyment out of it. TEAMS range from

those who are very competitive and have a strict race strategy, those who are more interested in having fun

than in posting fast times.

The 24H of Finale is open to competitive athletes and unlicenced amateur cyclists. That's why the

competition is sub-divided into two events. The first is a true race, open to all licenced riders as well as those

who can provide a medical certificate proving they are fit to undertake strenuous activity.

The second, NON competitive event, is open to all, including amateur cyclists. The race itself is the 24H of

Finale, has official standing and follows specific regulations. The NON competitive ride is a cycle tourism

event that, although it takes place on the same course and follows the same format as the 24H of Finale, has

a different start. As it is not a competitive event, no classifications are given.

No. Each TEAM decides on its own race strategy, which means that each rider can do an unspecified

number of laps before handing over to the next team member.

Some riders are able to, yes. They are really heroic. However, a SOLO does not have to stay in the saddle

for the whole event. Every biker can use the time as they think best. Riders can stop whenever they want, for

example if they are losing count of the laps completed.

The 24H of Finale is an event for everyone who loves mountain bikes. Whether you are a super-athlete or a

complete beginner, your passion for MTB means you'll have a great time.

The 24H of Finale is a festival in which the bike plays the starring role, but it is also a rich source of

activities which will make time fly for families and friends. There is an exhibition area with plenty of bike-

related stuff, and also stands offering food, beer and fun. There are six musical events to get you into the

rhythm of the festival.
