INFORMATION BULLETIN
November 2016
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR UCI ORGANISERS AND TIMING COMPANIESThis bulletin applies to all races which generate UCI Ranking points
From 1 January 2017, the UCI will implement a new data platform, “UCI DataRide”. At its implementation, UCI
DataRide will handle the collection of results and calculation of ranking points. UCI DataRide will, over time,
provide a portal access to Commissaires, Federations, Organisers, Teams, Riders and eventually the generalpublic. Depending on their function, these stakeholders will be able to view race results, rankings, rider profiles
etc. but also register races, teams, riders, load entry lists, start lists or results, submit race reports and so forth.
The first and critical step was the introduction of the UCI ID.

THE UCI ID
From 1 January 2017, the UCI ID replaces the UCI Code. The UCI ID is a unique 11 digit numeric identifier. Forease of reading it is presented in the form 983 874 378 64. A license holder will carry the same UCI ID with themthroughout their cycling lifetime be it as a rider, sports director, Commissaire or any other license holdingfunction.
The UCI Regulations have been amended and all 2017 licenses should show the riders’ UCI ID if the rider
participates in a UCI International Race, a Continental Championship or a National Championship. For otherlicense holders, a UCI ID may be shown but is not compulsory.
It remains the responsibility of a National Federation to issue a license in the format prescribed, including theUCI ID.
The UCI has been working closely with Federations over the past months to ensure that UCI ID’s are properly
attributed.

RACE OPERATIONS
From 1 January 2017, the UCI will only accept results submission in prescribed electronic format. Those results
may be communicated to the UCI either direct from the timing company (via webservices) or via theCommissaire.
We also request that organisers provide their entry lists in electronic format as well as paper format to theCommissaire prior to the race.

ENTRY LISTThe entry list, in accordance with regulation 1.2.089 must be provided to the Commissaires’ Panel. In addition
to the paper copy, it should also be provided electronically to the President of the Panel in this file format .
This is the same file as the Start list file, the first two columns being left blank.

In races where the organiser also prepares the start list in accordance with regulation 1.2.090, the start list must
be sent to the timing company, the President of the Commissaire’s Panel and the Commissaires’ Panel in thisfile format .
RESULTS LIST
In accordance with regulations 1.2.105, the Commissaires’ Panel records the results on a list which is signed andhanded to the judge.
If the organiser uses the services of a timing company, the timing company must provide the results either inexcel per this file format (example here) or in .odf format (example here).
The Commissaires or the President of the Commissaires’ Panel will agree with the timing company how theresults are to be transmitted to the UCI, either through webservices direct from the timing company or via email
from the timing company to the Commissaires.

TRANSITION ARRANGEMENTS
As in any project implementation, we appreciate there will be some teething problems, anticipated or not. TheUCI will instruct its Commissaires to implement the new system with pragmatism and common sense.
It will of course be beneficial if every organiser who has the means to do so communicates race entry lists to theCommissaires in advance of the race, thereby allowing the Commissaires to review the data and anticipate
potential problems.

We believe this long overdue overhaul will provide benefits to all cycling stakeholders in due course and thankyou in advance for your co-operation.

Please address any questions to support.ucidata@uci.ch and we will respond as quickly as we can.
