For the first stage, the driving order of the team cars are determined by drawing lots. All the vehicles driving in the motorcade are restricted to a maximum height of 1.66 m (art. 2.2.032). Teams who are not present at the team managers´ meeting, will not participate in the drawing and be placed last. In case of more than one team absent, the order of the last cars will be determined by drawing lots also. Only one vehicle per team will be permitted to circulate at race level. Team cars shall carry a sport director who holds the appropriate licence, who shall be responsible for the vehicle (UCI art. 2.2.035).
