Uniform and Branding

• No numbers on the back of Challenge rider jerseys will be permitted

UCI rule: 6.1.097

Each rider that has received a UCI International Elite number, and also the riders that choose to ride with a world number 1 - 8, may choose to print the number on the back of their jersey according to the following principles. Doing so is not mandatory. 

Only Elite riders who received a UCI International Elite Number through the UCI or Elite riders with a world number 1 - 8, may print a UCI International Elite Number or world number 1 - 8 on the back of the jersey if they choose. The UCI International Elite Number is not to be applied at any other location or onto any other item of clothing or safety equipment such as the pants or helmet. No other riders are allowed to print a number on the back of their jersey.

No riders in other categories are permitted to do so (either sleeve).

• No UCI Rainbow stripes on Challenge Rider uniforms or equipment will be permitted

UCI Rule: 6.4.011

The title of “UCI BMX Racing World Challenge Winner” does not entitle the holder to in any way represent themselves as a “BMX Racing World Champion”, nor to use a replica of the World Champion’s jersey, nor to in any way incorporate the rainbow colours into his/her clothing or equipment.
