Bikemania Posted December 4, 2023 Share Good day Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to ask for some advice on Bicycle Insurance for Elites. All quotes that I have received so far have a clause stating that the Item will not be covered in any racing conditions. Where can I find an Insurer that will cover me for races.

Shot, Felix I have full cover with Santam, including races. With a sub-clause - this does not cover "profssional athletes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon_pro Posted December 4, 2023 Share You might need to look at "Commercial" insurance, as a Sports Person. As you are generating a income for the bikes "tools of trade". Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renayg Posted December 4, 2023 Share Santam Switch(Previously JaSure) will cover you during organised sporting events. The only exclusion here is that you are not a professional that earns a salary from racing. ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the bikes not belong to the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP hasn't stated what their entire situation is, but in a pro-team scenario, the riders generally aren't responsible for the replacement of the bikes. Every situation is different though, but if you have a financial responsibility towards an asset(ie you are legally responsible for its repair or replacement via a contract), then you shoudl be able to insure the asset if you needed to.
