GoLefty!! Posted February 16, 2015 Share don't hold your breath.CTCT would have done its homework. I don't expect CSA to do any home work since so few people read what they put out anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted February 16, 2015 Share ok some good / bad news According to CTCT all PPA members with CSA Membership / UCI license may take part in the Cycle tour, your UCI / CSA seeding will not have an impact on your start time. Now that was directly from CTCT, two different stories but when i ask CSA for their response they referred me to CTCT for verify. So i'm afraid that the big boys will be allowed to race this one. I'm going to get it from them in writing to be 100% certain.There is a reason its called the fun ride world champs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted February 16, 2015 Share Letter from UCI to National Federations clearing up the uncertainty It has recently come to our attention that some National Federations are experiencing difficulties in the interpretation and application of the rules relating to "forbidden races", namely Articles 1.2.019, 1.2.020 and 1.2.021 of the UCI Regulations. With this in mind, we would like to provide the following clarification which we hope you will find useful. Article 1.2.019 of the UCI Regulations states:"No licence holder may participate in an event that has not been included on a national, continental or world calendar or that has not been recognised by a national federation, a continental confederation or the UCI. A national federation may grant special exceptions for races or particular events run in its own country." The objective of this regulation is to protect the hard work and resources you pour into the development of your events at national level. It allows for a federative structure, something which is inherent in organised sport and which is essential to being a part of the Olympic movement. Of course the regulation also allows the UCI, in line with its mission as an international federation, to guarantee uniform regulation. Article 1.2.019 applies to all licence holders, without exception. It does not solely concern professional riders or just the members of UCI teams, contrary to certain statements in the press and on some blogs. The second paragraph of Article 1.2.019 affords each national federation the facility to grant a special exception for specific races or events taking place in its territory. Special races or events are understood to be cycle events which are not registered on the national calendar of the country's federation or on the UCI international calendar. This generally concerns events that are occasional and which do not recur, most often organised by persons or entities who do not belong to the world of organised sport. For example, an event may be organised by an association that does not have a link to the National Federation, such as a race specifically for members of the armed forces, fire fighters or students or perhaps as part of a national multisport event. With the exception of these special cases, the National Federation is not permitted to grant an exemption to a cycle event which is held, deliberately or not, outside the federative movement. For example, in no case should an exception be granted to a cycling event that is organised by a person or entity who regularly organises cycling events. CH 1860 Aigle I SwitzerlandQ)+41 24 468 58 11 fax +41 24 468 58 12www.uci.chThe objective of Article 1.2.019 is that exemptions should only be granted in exceptional cases. Licence holders who participate in a "forbidden race" make themselves liable not only to sanctions by their National Federation, as scheduled by Article 1.2.021 of the UCI regulations, but also run the risk of not having sufficient insurance cover in the event of an accident.

Dicky DQ Posted February 16, 2015 Share There is more to this than the UCI not sanctioning the event. It has to do with affiliation and licensing from my limited understanding. CSA vs CTCT/BelliarsQuite Correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
