## Information during the race 

2.2.050 Accredited persons shall, in the place to which they have been assigned by the race administration, be given information and instructions on the progress of the race. 

2.2.051 Should the race administration, for the sake of safety, have directed the press vehicles onto a parallel road or several kilometres ahead of the race, accredited persons shall be kept permanently informed of the progress of the race. 

2.2.052 Information shall be conveyed in French or English and the language of the country in which the event is taking place. 

## Press motorcade 

2.2.053 Each press institution may not, without first having obtained the agreement of the organiser, have more than one car and one motor-cycle keeping up with the race. 

(text modified on 1.01.05). 

2.2.054 Such vehicles shall bear an accreditation plate front and rear which will permit them to circulate at race level. 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. It is of the organiser’s responsibility to make sure that these drivers hold the licence of a vehicle driver for a road event. 

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. This list must include the contact details of the drivers as well as their national licence number and UCI ID. 

Each press institution shall be responsible for the driving skill of the drivers it appoints. If a driver does not hold the licence required in the first paragraph, the press institution concerned shall be excluded from the race convoy of all road events, for a period of one to six months.
