The budget and the bank guarantee to be submitted by 1 October must take account of  all the riders that the UCI ProTeam intends to recruit.  Any costs incurred for additional work, including random checks, carried out by the  auditor on the UCI ProTeam or a team applying for that status before or after its  registration may be invoiced to the team as additional auditing costs. * Special provision for UCI ProTeams outside of Europe: The minimum number of riders that a  team must contract is respectively 16, 18 and 20 for seasons 2021, 2022 and 2023.
