All vehicles shall be equipped with a radio receiver so that they may permanently receive  reports from radio-tour.  2.2.055 Should the nature of the terrain and considerations of safety be such as to make it  necessary to limit the number of vehicles, the organiser may not impose any such  limitation until having obtained the agreement of the UCI and the IACJ office.  2.2.056 The organisers shall demand that press vehicles be driven by experienced drivers,  familiar with cycle races and knowing how to manoeuvre.

Before the start of the race, the organiser must provide the president of the  commissaires’ panel with a list of press vehicles in the race convoy.
