COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (tranmscendmagazine.com) -- Rumours have been flying for a few weeks as to whether or not the UCI will require points to race in a world cup next season. The last few years have been either 1 point or none. Final word is now in as Alison Dunlap fired off an email today to clarify for everyone.

----

I wanted to clarify one of the rule changes for 2007. Riders must have 20 UCI points to be eligible to race in a 2007 World Cup event. Those 20 points can be accumulated as of 12/31/06 or in 2007. If you have 20 UCI points by the end of this year then you are set for the first World Cup next year. This is for ALL disciplines.

Please forward this on to anyone that may be considering racing a World Cup next year.

Thanks
Alison
