DO’S AND DON’TS As the most important and general point, the media is kindly asked to treat all members of the cycling family (riders, coaches, officials etc.) and spectators with the necessary respect. Furthermore, the following rules shall be respected: • Any broadcasting equipment must be used and positioned in a way that it does not present any danger to the riders, officials, spectators etc. • Pre-Race - In most disciplines, the uni-lateral ENG cameras can film until 2 minutes before the start of the race from the front of the startline, but they must not interfere with the Host Broadcaster cameras. • Race - In general, no uni-lateral camera can be on the course or race tracks during the racing (respect of the field of play). Filming during the races is only permitted in designated and safe areas alongside the course. • Only the Host Broadcaster with identification of the grey/white bibs can film on the course respectively track. This is also valid for the finish arrival. • Post-race - Interviews can only be done in the dedicated areas. The different corridors must also be respected by the different categories of the media. To do interviews on the course after the finish line is also strictly forbidden. Interviews must be done in the mixed zone. • UCI reserves the right to withdraw instantly accreditations from the present media in case of any wrongdoings and also to put individual persons on the UCI accreditation black list (which is valid for all future UCI events).

23

11. Unilateral TV productions INTERVIEWS AND MIXED ZONE The mixed zone is a designated area to conduct interviews with the riders directly after the end of the races within the event area. Access to the mixed zone is only possible to ENG crews who have valid accreditation and bibs (please refer to chapter 12). With slight differences across the UCI cycling disciplines, the mixed zone is located next to the exit (respectively end of the course) and all riders have to go through this area. The mixed zone is separated in 3 corridors/areas: a) Rights holders with dedicated positions These positions are exclusively reserved to the broadcasters who ordered the positions to the Host Broadcaster. Each position shall be approximately 1.50 m wide for TV and 1 m for radios, and its allocation within this section depends mainly on technical set-up and cabling. Dark blue bibs allow the access to the bookable position. A special access card is requested on top during the Road World Championships. Access cards and bibs will be handed out by the UCI. b) Rights holders without dedicated positions This corridor is reserved to the rights holders who have not booked a dedicated mixed zone position. To access the corridor, each members of the crews need to wear a dark blue bib (see p. 24). This corridor shall be at least 8 meters wide. Positions are not allocated by UCI but are on a first come-first serve basis. c) Non Rights holders / Sublicensees Last corridor is dedicated to sublicensed A/V Medias and radios, who have to wear bright blue bibs (as p.24). This corridor has a width of at least 8 meters and positions are occupied on a first come-first serve basis. Apart from the top 3 riders who will be guided immediately to the presentation/podium area after the race, all other cyclists will pass on their way out of the finish area on the different corridors from a) to c). The rights holders have to call the single riders and ask for a short interview, to which the riders are however not obliged to.

Important note Exception UCI Track Cycling World Championships Due to the event configuration (indoor track), mixed zone won’t be organized for this event.

12. Media facility and accreditation

PRESS CENTRE All members of the ENG crews have access to the press centres of the UCI events with a valid accreditation. In the press centre, the event organizer offers free internet access and hands out additional helpful information.

ACCREDITATION TV, radio, and web accreditation requests are all handled and approved by the UCI TV department.

On-line accreditation (for World Championships events only) Access information will be provided by UCI once the media rights have been cleared. The access data remains valid for all UCI event rights which have been cleared and the existing account will be re-opened for the relevant event(s). 

Visit http://uci.wingsmedia.it/default.asp

Accreditation procedures It is recommended that the rights holder appoints a responsible person handling all the accreditation requests within the organisation. This person can enter the data for all its staff working at the event. Once data has been entered for core staff working regularly at UCI events (step 2), the data can be re-actived for the upcoming event and the accreditation can be requested (step 3). It is at UCI TV Department’s discretion to approve or decline accreditation requests. All members of the TV/Radio crews on-site must be accredited. The accreditation badges are issued with a photo of the holder. The accreditation must be collected by each staff member at the accreditation center on-site, or by the producer for large production teams. Further details on accreditation center locations and opening dates and times are communciated in the event guide which is issued for each event.

APPENDIX 1 - THE UCI DISCIPLINES

BMX BMX race The BMX race is performed on a BMX track, measuring between 300 and 400m, with alternating jumps, banked corners and flat sections. 8 riders battle for first place and it is necessary to finish in the first four of the heats to have a place in the next round and then in the final. All BMX races for Challenge categories are organised on traditional BMX tracks. Besides the traditional BMX races, there are also Supercross races for Junior and Elite riders. These competitions are held on a spectacular BMX track with an 8m high start ramp and several pro sections with technical jumps. The Junior and Elite World Championships and the Olympic Games are raced on a Supercross track. BMX Time Trial The BMX Time Trial is raced on a Supercross BMX track and consists of two phases: Time Trial qualification and Time Trial Super Finals where the best riders battle for victory. During BMX Time Trial races, riders set off one at a time and cover the track as quickly as possible. The World Championships Time Trial were organised for the first time in 2011.

Cyclo-Cross In a cyclo-cross race, riders complete multiple laps of a short (2.5–3.5 km) course which is both technical and hilly. Sections may be raced on asphalt, grass, mud, sand and dirt. As well as steep banks, obstacles can include, steps, sandpits and plank barriers. These obstacles may require the rider to quickly dismount and carry the bike in order to navigate the obstruction. Races last approximately one hour. Cyclo-cross provides a real education in cycling as it requires accomplished bike handling skills and unfailing physical fitness. Although some parallels can be drawn with mountain bike cross country racing, cyclocross differs in that the terrain is not quite as rough. Rather, more emphasis is put on negotiating different types of technical challenges after which the rider needs to get speed back up as quickly as possible. Raced typically in autumn and winter, the European cyclo-cross season lasts from September to the end of February.

31

16. Appendices

Mountain Bike Cross-country Olympic: Cross-country Olympic format races are held over undulating circuits (with technical descents, forest roads, rocky paths and obstacles) of 4 to 6 km, which riders must complete several times. The Elite racing times, for men and women, vary from 1 h 30 minutes to 1 h 45 minutes. An attractive course design must ideally use the venue in the form of a clover leaf. At the same time a double Feed/Technical Assistance zone should be installed. Cross-country Marathon: The marathon event is a long version of cross-country held over a course of 60 to 120 km. A special feature is that riders from all categories, from enthusiasts to professionals, race together. The marathon event is held in a mountainous region. Cross-country Eliminator: As with 4X, after a qualifying round the cross-country eliminator sees four riders compete against each other in each heat. The two fastest go on to the next round. The short eliminator courses require speed, technical skill and strength. This format appears for the first time on the World Championships programme in 2012. Downhill: Downhill (also referred to as DHI) is a race against the clock in which the rider negotiates a succession of fast and technical passages. The participant must demonstrate courage as well as sharp technical and piloting skills in order to affront tree roots, banked sections, bumps, jumps and other natural obstacles along the way.

32

16. Appendices

Road Cycling Road Race (part of the Olympic programme): The riders start together in a bunch. The courses are of varying distances (approx. 260 km for Elite Men and 140km for Elite Women in the UCI World Championships). Road races have several different formats: • One-day races from one point to another (eg Paris-Roubaix or Tour of Flanders) • One-day races on a circuit in which riders race over numerous laps of a shorter course (eg UCI Road World Championships) • Stage races in which riders race on consecutive days (eg Tour de France, Giro d’Italia or Vuelta a España). Individual Time Trial (part of the Olympic programme): At the UCI World Championships and Olympic Games, the individual time trial is raced over 40-50 km for Elite Men and 20-30 km for Elite Women. The riders set off individually at regular intervals (1-2 minutes), with the reigning Champion leaving last. Without the motivation of other riders around them and the slipstream advantage of bunch riding, the time trial competitor must rely on huge mental strength to keep up the pace and cover the course in the fastest time possible. Team time trial The principle is the same as for the individual time trial but this event is raced by teams of a minimum of 2 riders and a maximum of 10 riders who remain together along the course. The team time trial is on the programme at the UCI Road World Championships as of 2012, (6 riders per team) and is open to UCI ProTeams, UCI Professional Continental Teams, UCI Continental Teams and UCI Women’s Teams.

33

16. Appendices

Track Cycling Sprint Events Individual Sprint (part of the Olympic programme): This is a very tactical event in which riders try to out-manoeuvre their opponents. After the qualification time trials and knockout heats, the best two riders fight it out in the final. Sometimes riders will come to a standstill in an effort to make their opponent take the lead, which is the least advantageous position before the final sprint to the finish line. Team Sprint (part of the Olympic programme): This spectacular speciality sees two teams start off on opposite sides of the track. It is raced by teams of three riders over three laps for Elite Men and two riders over two laps for Elite Women. Each rider leads for a lap before dropping back. Kilometre / 500m: This is an individual time trial from a standing start. Elite Men race over 1km and Elite Women over 500m. The competitor with the fastest time is the winner. Keirin (part of the Olympic programme): Keirin racing originated in Japan. Contested over 2 km, the field of three to seven riders follows a pacing motorbike at an increasing speed, all the while jostling for position depending on where their biggest rivals are. When the motorbike pulls off the track with two and a half laps to go, the battle begins to win the sprint to the finish.

34

16. Appendices

Endurance Events Individual Pursuit: After the preliminary rounds which are held on a time trial basis, the four best riders progress to the finals. Two riders start on opposite sides of the track and compete over 4 km for Elite Men and 3 km for Elite Women. The winner is the rider who manages to catch his/her opponent or who records the fastest time. Team Pursuit (part of the Olympic programme): Two teams of 4 riders (3 riders for women) start on opposite sides of the track and compete over 4 km (3 km for women). The winning team is the one that manages to catch its opponents or that records the fastest time. Points Race: This superbly tactical discipline is contested over a long distance, usually 40 km for men and 25 km for women in major events. The final result is determined according to points gained during sprints (one every 10 laps on a 250 m track) and when a rider manages to lap the rest of the field. Madison: Up to 18 teams of two riders take part in this relay race contested by means of intermediary sprints. While one team member races, the other slows down to take a rest. When he rejoins the race, his teammate throws him into the action with a hand sling. The classification is established according to the distance covered and the points won in the sprints (every 20 laps). The Madison is held over distances of 25-50 km for Elite Men depending on the competition. Scratch Race: This is a race for up to 24 individual riders over 15 km for men and 10 km for women. The first across the finish line is the winner. Omnium (part of the Olympic programme): The omnium is made up of 6 events and is disputed over 2 consecutive days. The final classification is established as follows: the points accumulated by the riders over the first 5 events, on the basis of the points scale in force, are added up. During the 6th and final race, this total may increase or decrease according to the points won or lost by the rider. The winner is the rider who has the highest total of points at the end of the 6th event. Men : Women : • Scratch race (15 km) • Scratch race (10 km) • Individual pursuit (4 km) • Individual pursuit (3 km) • Elimination • Elimination • Kilometre time trial • 500 m time trial • Flying lap • Flying lap • Points race (40 km) • Points race (25 km)

35

16. Appendices

Trials Trials is one of the cycling disciplines requiring the sharpest bike handling skills. Competitors ride one at a time over a course of obstacles that are either natural or man made. The obstacles are grouped into “sections” and require incredible balance, controlled braking and track standing, where the rider remains stationary without touching the ground with the feet. As the rider advances through the sections he or she incurs penalty points for any faults committed. The rider with the lowest score is the winner. One of the most common ways of incurring penalty points is touching the ground with the feet. Although speed plays a lesser importance than in other cycling disciplines, the sections need to be cleared within a certain time frame to avoid extra penalty points.
