1.2.026 National federations, their affiliates and licence holders and, in general, all bodies answerable to them shall be barred from participating actively or passively in any individual or team classification based on the races on the international calendar other than those drawn up or expressly authorised by the UCI. 

Events conducted by an organiser who fails to comply with the preceding paragraph shall be deleted from the international calendar for the following year.

(text modified on 01.08.00; 01.01.05; 01.07.13) 

1.2.027 National championships shall be ridden under UCI regulations. 

1.2.028 Participation in national championships shall be regulated by the respective national federations. Only riders who hold the nationality of the country for the purposes of the present regulations may compete for the title of national champion and the relevant points. A rider cannot compete for the title of national champion and the relevant points for more than one country during the same season. 

If a national federation organises a separate event to award the national champion's title in a given category, riders in this category may not take part in the national championship event in another category. As an exception, if a national federation organises separate events for the award of the Elite and U23 national road champion titles, the national federation may determine that U23 riders are authorised to take part in both events. 

A maximum of three national federations may organise their national championships as a joint event.
