5. BELGIAN SYSTEM: MOTOGIRO RUNS ON THIS BASIC FRAMEWORK. WE APPOINT THE TAIL (CODA) OF THE GROUP. THE TAIL IS COMPULSORY, EVERYBODY MUST KNOW THIS BIKER. HE WEARS A FLUORESCENT SAFETY VEST. 

 

 

 

 

 

THE LEADER (TESTA), ALL HAVE TO KNOW HIM, STAYS IN THE FRONT. HIS ASSIGNMENT IS TO SHOW THE ROUTE, TO SET THE RIGHT PACE AND TO INDICATE THE STOPPING POINT FOR THE SIGNPOST (PALO) , WHICH IS USUALLY THE RIDER BEHIND HIM, THIS AT ANY JUNCTION, TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR DODGY SITUATION

 

 

  

.                                                                                                    

THE SIGNPOST (PALO) WAVES CLEARLY TO ALL RIDERS WHERE TO GO, AND WAITS FOR THE ARRIVAL OF THE TAIL AND GETS RIGHT AWAY IN THE GROUP IN THE FRONT OF  THE TAIL KEEPING UP THEN THE SPEED WHICH HE LIKES TO. IN CASE OF PROBLEMS THE TAIL CALLS OR SMS TO THE LEADER WHO WILL GIVE THE NECESSARY DISPOSITIONS AND RESCUE THE SIGNPOSTS ON THE ROUTE. THE SIGNPOST ALONG THE ROAD CAN CALL OR SMS THE LEADER OR THE TAIL IN ORDER TO GET INFORMATIONS BUT THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO VACATE THE POSITION.
