UCI CYCLING REGULATIONS  E.  principles of transparency and good faith.  2.13.039  From the 2022 season onward, the organisational criterion will be assessed on the basis  quarter of the report by the organisational auditor appointed by the UCI, taking account of the  UCI Women’s WorldTeam’s compliance with the following rules:  1.  The teams shall organise the physical preparation of riders: a.  Either by employing a coach on a full-time basis, for eight to ten riders  maximum, who will be entrusted with organising and managing their  preparation and recovery via a training plan supported by written  documents and able to use the team’s communication procedure. In this  case, the riders shall compulsorily be assigned to a team coach;  b.  Or by employing a “performance manager” on a full-time basis who may  moreover be a coach entrusted with supervising the work of the coaches  of the riders whether or not employed by the team. Their supervisory role  implies that they necessarily have access to all training data related to  riders, including and especially those produced by coaches who are  external to the team but employed by the riders. These data must be  communicated by the coaches of the riders to the “performance  manager”: -  in the form of a training plan; -  in the form of personalised and confidential data files sent  systematically and frequently so as to facilitate effective supervision;  -  external coaches must have access to the team’s communication  procedure and take action with regard to their rider(s) at all times.  2.  Each rider must have their preparation managed via a training plan formalised  in writing indicating, in particular, the nature of the preparation work, recovery  periods and competitions. This training plan must be drawn up in consultation  with the sports director(s) and coach of the rider. It must be understood by all  persons concerned;  3.  A team must have the number of sports directors provided for in article 2.13.210.  The sports directors may only take on the role of coach on the condition that  they are qualified as such. Should this be the case, they must provide evidence  of their double certification. The role of the sports directors is to direct the riders  in competition. Ideally, they also draw up the competition programme for the  riders in consultation with both the riders and their personal coach so as to  ensure coherence between race preparation and the race programme. Each  sports director must ensure compliance with Rule no. 7;  4.  The team shall employ a doctor responsible for the organisation of care (the  “chief medical officer”). In particular, the chief medical officer is entrusted with  ensuring the compliance of the team’s care activities with the UCI’s Medical  Rules, in Part XIII of the UCI Regulations. The teams may employ one or more  additional doctor(s) in addition to the chief medical officer, but the doctor(s) in  question must comply with the requirements of Rule no. 9 among others. Any  staff member employed by a team as a doctor may not take on a role other than  that of doctor within the team. The chief medical officer is the sole authority in  terms of health within the team and assumes responsibility for this. All doctors  employed by a team are subject to strict confidentiality with regard to the  medical data in their possession;  5.  Each rider must have a referring doctor identified by the team whether or not  employed by the latter. They are subject to strict confidentiality with regard to  the medical data in their possession;  6.  The team must have internal medical regulations describing terms and  conditions of care for riders as well as, in particular, access to medical data;  E170421  ROAD RACES  138
