You better start reading the rules on the ISDE.
Number 1: No outside support. You are only allowed to swap certain parts and can only receive parts, fuel, etc at designated checkpoints and the work area. No chase rider needed (though a lot of cheating riders use them, it's very disappointing and takes away from the accomplishment of racing the ISDE). This is supposed to be a test of rider and machine and it is up to the rider to decide what spares they carry with them (recommend brake pedal, shifter, clutch lever, bolts, quick steel, zip ties, plus tools) and ride fast yet preserve bike and body (I need to work on all three).
I'll write more this evening.
