Riders Bulletin n.2/2024

Hey there,

It is mandatory – per race rules and to comply with the Italian Cycling Federation FCI – that all participants have a UCI approved racing license (UCI logo and number).

 Therefore, you should get or renew your national cycling federation UCI valid racing license.

The alternative is to buy an event racing license in Italy and it will cost 60 Euro (cash).

You’ll also need a medical declaration. The medical declaration is mandatory to race with the event license. 

 Often, a national racing license includes additional benefits such as insurance while racing and even training. We recommend that you obtain a racing license with your national cycling federation and that you use the daily license as a backup plan. 

 In any case, one or the other is mandatory and if you don’t comply you won’t be able to race.

 IMPORTANT DEADLINES:

 July 31 – Last day to add extras to your registration. Go to ENDU and select and pay for any extras (massages, hotels, etc) by that date. 

July 31 – Last day to make any changes to your registration form. For instance, add your UCI license number.
