Chapter II RACES

§ 6 Classifications and cups

  • 1.2.026 National federations, their affiliates, event organisers, including all bodies answerable to them, and any licence-holders shall be barred from participating directly or indirectly in the organisation or promotion of any individual or team classification which cumulate points or results from events registered on the UCI International Calendar (i.e. series), whether within the same season or over multiple seasons, other than those drawn up or expressly authorised by the UCI.

The registration of any event which is part of a series, as defined above, on the UCI International Calendar shall be subject to compliance with the present article.

Any series which cumulates points or results of events on the UCI International Calendar shall be subject to the UCI approval on a yearly basis. In order to assess such request, the UCI shall be provided with any and all regulations relating to the series, including rules of participation, technical rules, any points system and prize money per event as well as any overall prize money (based on the overall standings, but not limited to those only).

Event organisers wishing to be part of a series shall indicate their intention in the application form for registration on the UCI International Calendar and provide any information related to the series upon request from the UCI.

The following specific conditions shall apply for the approval of a series:

  • In all cycling disciplines, any series subject to authorisation under this article shall not include more than eight events. However, series in the discipline of Road that have been established before January 1st, 2024, and have been approved for previous seasons, as well as UCI World Cups and UCI Series, are exempt from this limitation. These series are permitted to maintain a greater number of events subject to annual approval by the UCI and provided they continue to meet the other criteria set forth in this article.

  • The name of a series shall not give the impression that the events or the series have a status they do not have.

Any application for a series shall also be assessed on the following criteria:

  • Fairness and openness of sporting competitions;

  • Equal chances for all participants;

  • Ethical values in sport;

  • The uncertainty of results;

  • The protection of riders’ health and safety;

  • Ensuring a functioning sport calendar;

  • The promotion of recruitment and training of young riders;

  • Ensuring the integrity and objectivity of competitive sport and proper functioning of competitions;

  • Financial stability of event organisers and teams;

Each licence holder and each team shall also be responsible to ensure compliance with the UCI Regulations of any equipment they intend to use in events.

Commissaires shall have discretion to apply the provisions related to equipment and forbid the use of any equipment deemed non-compliant in the events they officiate. The UCI may also determine that equipment may not be used and shall communicate such decision to the manufacturer and, as the case may be to relevant teams. The UCI shall not be held liable for any such decision by Commissaires or the UCI, whether the equipment has been used previously in events or not.

In addition, all handlebars must conform to the following:

  • The maximum dimension of the cross section of the handlebars is 80 mm for track, and 65 / 80 mm for road and cyclo-cross (see diagram «structure 1.0 Track» and «structure 1.0 Road, Cyclo-cross»)
