REGULATIONS:
All Derby City Cup UCI events shall be held under the 2014 UCI Regulations. All other categories shall be
held under USA Cycling regulations.
PARTICIPATION:
- Junior Women 17-18 may compete with the Elite Women provided they possess a valid UCI international license.
- Junior Men 17-18 may NOT compete in the Men’s Elite competition and must hold a valid UCI license for the UCI inscribed races.
- The category to which a license-holder belongs on 1 January of the civil year following will be used for his participation in events for the whole season. In other words, a riders age for all categories is determined by his/her age on December 31, 2015. - All UCI Elite Men, UCI Junior Men, and UCI Elite Women must possess a current UCI international license.
- For all other categories (OVCX), a USA Cycling license is required.
- A USA Cycling license is required. One-day beginner licenses are available to Cat 5 men and Cat 4 women for $15.
START ORDER:
UCI ELITE– Women & Men, Junior Men
5.1.043.
1. As per the most recently published UCI cyclo-cross individual classification of the current season (or the
final classification of the previous season if no classification has yet been
published for the current season);
2. Unclassified riders: by drawing lots.
- With ten minutes to start, the Race Announcer will begin introducing, in the UCI Men’s race, the first two rows (16 riders), and, in the UCI Women’s and Junior Men’s race, the front row (8 riders).
- UCI Riders are advised to report 15 minutes before their respective start.
ALL USAC (OVCX) Cycling Categories (Men, Women, Juniors, Masters, SingleSpeed, Etc.)
- Start line staging will change starting with the 2014 season. OVCX Series points will not count this year towards start line position. Two things will count: your USA Cycling Points Rankings ranking, and
when you register. As in previous years, all riders scheduled to start at the same time (wave) will be
started in one wave and staged together (see above).
- First to be staged are those that register at least 2 weeks out from the close of pre-reg, and they will be staged by USA Cycling Points Rankings ranking.
- Next staged will be everyone that pre-registers from 2 weeks out til the close of pre-registration – and they also will be staged by their USA Cycling Points Rankings ranking. Those that register on
raceday will line up at the back. This system will work for all combined categories going off the
starting line at the same time.
- All USAC races will be scored and posted on day of race, by overall Wave and then also scored per
each race category. Podiums are done based on top 3 racers per each race category. Payouts, if
money, are paid out based on the total overall Wave. Results will be sent to USAC based on Overall
Wave scoring.
7
PIT REQUIREMENTS:
Pit Passes —1 Mechanic per rider will be issued a pass with rider numbers at packet pick up / registration.
No other personnel shall be allowed in the Pit Zone. Derby City Cup organizers will provide pit pass badges
prior to packet pick up at registration.
Derby City Cup personnel will check for credentials in the pits and anybody found without proper credential
will not be allowed in this area.
All pit personnel are required to have a current annual USAC or other Federation license. A “mechanics
license” is NOT required - any type of domestic OR international license is fine as long as it’s current. Pit
passes will be required for all UCI races.
PIT & BIKE WASHING:
- One large two (2) sided UCI legal pit is located on the course, very close to the Pro team parking and
Expo area.
- The Pit Area is for the exchange of race bikes, wheels or feeding during the course of a rider’s event.

the exchange lanes during a race. Between exchange lanes is the median for storage of bikes, wheels,
and riders’ assistants.
- Only riders and riders’ mechanics/assistants may be present inside the Pit Area during the race.
- Gasoline powered pressure washers will be located at the pits for mechanics/assistants tending to
racers on course, ONLY.

disqualification.
UNAUTHORIZED REFRESHMENTS (UCI RULE 5.1.038):
- In the event of warm weather conditions (Above 20C/68F) the commissaire’s panel may decide to
allow water hand-ups (“feeding”) in the Pit Lane ONLY.
