ATTENTION DANGER !!!

La Charly Gaul takes place on public roads that are open to other traffic and it is unfortunately not possible to design a course without a few dangerous passages, especially on the downhills and in villages or towns. Due to the very precious help of the Luxemburgish police, we are able to guarantee priority to the participants of La Charly Gaul on the entire course of the race. However, the law doesn’t enable us to maintain this priority for more than an hour. As a consequence each participant who is more than one hour late on the first rider of the race loses the priority on the course.

You can download hereafter a non-exhaustive list with the most dangerous points and intersections on the course:
(as .pdf document).

DANGER


For your own safety, PLEASE STAY ON YOUR RIGHT!
PLEASE RESPECT THE TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

We also want you to be aware of bycicle thefts that are more and more common in our country since several years.

BE CAREFULL AND KEEP YOUR EYES ON YOUR BIKE !!!
