Deadline falls
Controversial transfer regulation in cycling to fall
World governing body UCI announced that the current regulation with the deadline of August 1 for team changes of professionals and their announcement is to be dropped. In order to circumvent the previous deadline, contracts and changes of riders were largely fixed long before August 1st through preliminary contracts. Accordingly, these transfers were also reported in the media in advance.
The previous practice was impractical simply because of the lack of planning security for the riders and their teams when contracts expired or new signings were made.
According to the UCI, the new regulations should no longer limit the time at which contracts are signed and the communication of a rider's commitment. It is not yet known when the new rules will come into force. However, according to the world governing body, they should provide more flexibility and transparency.
