Municipal Police Escort - they do fantastic!

Feel as if you are in a Pro Tour! The Municipal Police Departments of every coastal town in Puerto Rico annually coordinate with us to iron out their presence at main intersections and traffic lights to ensure the safe and efficient passage of the peloton. Green lights FOREVER? Although there is no guarantee that all traffic lights and stop signs are manned, these agents have done a wonderful job in the past. As usual, the Puerto Rico Police Department always makes itself available to help their municipal counterparts, thus providing our event that "pro-tour" feeling. Inasmuch as there is no guarantee of this service, they have always been around since 2006.

Support & Gear Vehicles/Emergency Medical Services

We obviously do not want you in our SAG (support and gear) vehicles, but if you end up in one, you will be treated as royalty. Depending on the need, pelotons may have at their disposal passenger and bike storage vans with around 10 crew people that have been with us, most for over 10 years. On the medical end, count on professional medical and technical support along the entire route. First Response Emergency Medical Services (FREMS) and their staff including Emergency Medical Technicians and Registered Nurses are always with us in case of an emergency. These are all available 24/7 from Day 1 5:00 AM to Day 3 until around 6:00 PM during the event all under the coordination of our Board Certified Medical Director, Fernando E. Roura-Rizzo, MD. A hotline phone number is provided to every registered rider for them to call 24/7 in case they need it.

Mechanical Support

Lead by bike shop collaborators, this experienced mechanical support has proven to be essential throughout the years. Our in-house mechanical staff will also be positioned at the check-in and at the Headquarter Hotels in Ponce, Mayagüez and Rincón just in time to wash your bikes for a fee and get them ready for the next day. These also provide pre-event services in your hotels and in some cases coordinate to pick up the bikes straight from the airport. If you are interested in a particular service, please contact us HERE and we will be happy to connect you!

Ambulances

In the event that you suffer from any ailment during the event, our in-house Medical Director, Emergency Medical Technicians and other medical related staff will coordinate with our own ambulance service in case it is needed in any town. This ambulance service will be available to us 24/7 during the event without the need of having to call a government agency or another private ambulance company.
