Response during Race First response during the race will be from the Race Doctor, who will stop with any crashes and do an assessment. During the time the caravan passes the doctor will make an assessment on a method of treatment and will alert the race ambulance if it needs to remain on site to assist. Actions that might be taken include the following: 1. Rider needs advanced treatment: The race doctor and ambulance begin treatment immediately and notify the Command Post that a transport will be needed. The local ambulance crew is given an ingress point to the field of play. If a neutralization or stoppage of the race needs to take place it is coordinated through the Race Doctor and Technical Director and communicated to the race officials and Command Post. 2. Rider needs minor treatment but cannot continue: The Race Doctor leaves the athletes in the care of the medical sag vehicles. The rider will be transported back to the finish line medical area in the sag or broom vehicle. Communications The race medical staff will communicate on the inter-race UHF radio system on all stages. Primary frequency will be the Medical simplex frequency with a backup on the Caravan repeater frequency in case of a large split in the field. All announcements to teams will be coordinated through Race Command to the Radio Tour frequency. Each medical asset will be provided with mobile and portable radios as well as a satellite phone. Coordination with local agencies will be through the Caravan frequency to the race representative in the Command Post. Command Structure The Race Doctor will make all medical decisions for the race staff and entourage in coordination with the Race Director and Technical Director. Coordination of caravan assets will be coordinated through Race Command and the Technical Director when on the road.
