Reminder Covid-19 protocol and special provisions

The updated Covid-19 protocol for road races came into force on 24 January. As in previous years, national health rules will apply if they are stricter than the UCI rules. Conversely, in the case of less stringent national rules, the UCI rules shall apply. This protocol concerns the Elite, Under 23 and Junior, Men and Women categories and must be applied strictly.

  • Organisers must upload the different requested documents on the dedicated platform at the latest 14 days before the start of their event. If changes occur after this deadline, for instance, a change in the list of participating teams, the organiser must inform the UCI as soon as possible.
  • Teams who have not already done it must upload the vaccination/recovery certificates as soon as possible as well as a summary of the vaccination status of the team on the dedicated platform. The vaccination/recovery certificates are uploaded only once on the platform.
  • Teams must also, before each event, upload the Excel file related to the UCI health-pass, on the dedicated platform. They will receive a reminder email before each event, describing the exact procedure to apply.
  • National Federations must inform the organisers and teams under their responsibility, to ensure that procedures are respected.

In addition, all individuals in the race convoy must wear a mask, covering mouth and nose, at all times, including in vehicles. This is essential, as the softening of routine PCR testing measures only makes sense if the distancing and mask wearing measures remain strictly enforced.
 
The special provisions for road cycling, extended  until 31 December 2022,  are published on the UCI website.
