UCI CYCLING REGULATIONS  2.18.034 If the actual organiser of the event changes during the registration period, the UCI  Management Committee must be informed by the event owner.  2.18.035 The event owner shall not have any link, whether directly or indirectly, with a team  registered with the UCI. In exceptional cases, which do not call into question the integrity  or sporting equity of the event, the UCI Management Committee may grant a derogation  of this article.  2.18.036 In a document to be appended to the registration application form, the applicant shall  certify (i) that it does not have any direct or indirect links to a UCI-registered team and  (ii) that if any direct or indirect links (including, where applicable, through the intermediary  of the actual organiser) with a UCI-registered team exist, this shall be communicated.  The UCI Management Committee must be provided with this information and be updated  throughout the registration period.  2.18.037 In the event that direct or indirect links as described by articles 2.18.179 or 2.18.180  exist, the UCI Management Committee and the event owner shall consult and, if  applicable, the UCI Management Committee shall impose a deadline on the event owner  to regularise the situation.  2.18.038 If the UCI Management Committee learns, through a third party other than the event  owner, of the existence of such links as described in articles 2.18.179 and 2.18.180  which are not authorised by the UCI Management Committee, the parties concerned  shall each be subject to a fine of CHF 10,000. The UCI Management Committee may  set a deadline for the situation to be regularised.  2.18.039 If the situation is not regularised in the sense or within the deadline indicated by the UCI  Management Committee, or in the case of a dispute on the existence of a prohibited link  or the achievement of regularisation, the dispute shall be presented to the UCI  Disciplinary Commission upon a simple written request, either by the President of the  UCI Management Committee or by the applicant who is the owner of the event. If the  Disciplinary Commission considers that a link that is prohibited by articles 2.18.179 or  2.18.180 exists, it may make the registration subject to compliance with conditions and/or  measures as considered appropriate, reduce the registration’s duration or withdraw it, if  appropriate after having granted a period for regularisation.  2.18.040 The event owner must organise the event every year consecutively for the entire duration  of the registration and assume all obligations that arise. The event owner must comply  with the dates fixed by the UCI ProSeries calendar as established annually by the UCI  Management Committee.  2.18.041 The event owner shall not change the format, distance or nature of the event without the  prior written agreement of the UCI Management Committee.  2.18.042 The event owner shall preserve the professional level, quality and reputation of the event.  2.18.043 The event owner shall organise the event in compliance with the existing usual standards  as imposed by the UCI and in accordance with the organisation guides, guidelines and  specifications for event organisers.
