2. The Organization will provide between two and four refreshments (depending on the length of each stage) solid and liquid (they will be informed in time and form in the section of the web referring to the notifications of the test).

ARTICLE 12. ABANDONMENT

If he completes the GTCM 2019 he will be considered FINISHER but he will not be part of the official classification, since this one is only considered taking into account the classifications for couples that have registered and have taken the start in the first stage of the GTCM 2019. In addition he will not be able to enter the individual classification since it is supposed that in the stages that he has gone in pair he has been able to make better times than the majority of the individual participants when going always accompanied.
