Bullet points on general regulation As UCI's rules for international mountain bike races are at the same time long and something that need to be known, we want to highlight the most relevant points for this time of the event's schedule. Here they are:
-All riders aged 30 or over who hold a masters license are allowed to ride mountain bike events on the UCI international masters calendar, apart from:
-riders who, during the current year, have ridden a mountain bike event on the international calendar or regional games or Commonwealth Games other than a masters event with the exception of the world mountain bike marathon championships;
-riders who during the current year have been a member of a team registered with the UCI.
In events other than the masters world championships, master riders may ride with a temporary or day license issued by the competent national federation. The license shall set out clearly the start and end dates of the period for which it is valid. The national federation shall ensure that a holder of a temporary or day license shall for the duration of that license benefit from the same insurance coverage and other advantages as those granted with an annual license.
