During the last days, the UCIs clarification of a rule, that prohbits pro-racers from participating in unsanctioned races, caused quite an uproar (click here for more details). But now there is good news in this case: In an official press release, the UCI postponed the full enforcement of the rule to 2014. That should be enough time, to find solutions for the growing enduro racing scene.
UCI Press release: Strict enforcement of rule 1.2.019 postponed
The UCI listened to the feedback from the various groups involved and who feel affected by a strict and immediate enforcement of rule 1.2.019 and its associated sanctions. The UCI has decided to postpone strict enforcement of rule 1.2.019 in 2013 with the expectation that all stakeholders (National Federations, race directors, teams and riders) will discuss and do what is necessary to prepare for the rule’s full enforcement in 2014.
