UCI Prohibits Licensed Racers to Participate in Unsanctioned Races

In a seemingly trivial letter the UCI has dropped a bombshell that will effect many grass root enduro races! The focus of the letter was the clarification of a rule that now prohibits racers from participating in unsanctioned races i.e. races that are not run under the national federation’s regulation. Most of the “big” races are sanctioned by national federations so will be exempt from this ruling, but grassroots enduro racing is made up of many excellent unsanctioned events that capture the spirit and freedom of enduro. Under the ruling, pro riders will no longer be able to compete in these events without risking suspension and fines! This clarificiation has met a storm of protest and there is a petition online which we strongly recommend you support, click here!
