## Feeding zones signposted by the organiser 

2.3.025 In one-day races or stage races the organisers can implement zones for teams to supply their riders. These feeding zones will be signposted in this case. They shall be of sufficient length to allow supply operations to proceed smoothly with a minimum of 50 metres per team. Feed zones shall be located on slightly uphill sections and, as far as possible, outside urban areas. 

The food and drink shall be distributed on foot by the staff accompanying the team and by no-one else. Staff supplying the riders must wear team’s clothing and stand at a maximum of one meter from the side of the road. They shall be positioned on one side of the road only, which must be the side on which road traffic circulates in the country concerned. 

Each feeding zone should be accompanied by a zone for waste situated just before and just after the feeding zone where riders can get rid of their waste.
