Just days left until the UCI Inscription period ends for 2010!
The 2009 season has kicked-off to a great start for the Pro Gravity Tour (Pro GRT). However WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP! One of our main goals is to raise the bar of American riders at the World Cup level. However, without events offering UCI points, riders are limited on possibilities to participate at the World Cups. Many of you have seen increases in your rider numbers, which is fantastic news (especially considering the economic news these days!). The strong support of organizers and sponsors have made this possible, along with a renewed interest in the sport of mountain bike racing. With this continued growth of support & attendance, American racing is back on the rise!
If you’re interested in offering UCI points at your MTB race next season, you MUST to register before the deadline listed below!
Why should I be concerned?
Although there are many criteria to be part of the 2010 Pro GRT, hosting a UCI inscripted event puts you a step ahead! With the 2010 World Cup schedule officially announced (calendar listed below), and with Windham, New York hosting the finals, we’ll be making a big push to attract international riders next season. These riders, along with their teams, & sponsors will benefit your event tremendously with the added media exposure, spectators, race entries & much more!
Attached is additional information for those of you who are new to UCI inscription (or need a refresher), please read over the information and links included in this email.
The UCI deadline for 2010 inscription is July 3, 2009 (as indicated on the event information forms). The inscriptions are submitted to UCI through the National Federations, so the completed forms need to be submitted to USA Cycling by Monday, June 22, 2009.
Please review the UCI information attached, along with the links to the various publications. Please feel free to contact Kelli Lusk (USA Cycling) or myself should you have any questions.
