In the event the Rider has signed a contract with another team for the subsequent season, the Rider may, after the end of the last UCI WorldTour event of the season, take part in official presentation, training camp(s) and other non-promotional events as well as use equipment (e.g. bike, cycling outfit…) provided by his team for the next season, if any, provided that such equipment is white-labelled. 

The Rider shall inform the Team of any such activity and/or use of equipment beforehand and the latter shall not be requested to bear any costs related thereto. 

For the sake of clarity, any and all image rights granted to the Team by the Rider shall remain in force until expiry of the present contract 

The Rider and Teams concerned may agree on further measures applicable between the last UCI WorldTour event of the season and expiry of the present contract through specific agreements.

Without prejudice to the legislation governing the present contract, it may be terminated before expiry, in the following cases and on the following conditions: 

1. The Rider may terminate the present contract, without notice or liability for compensation: 

A. if the Team is declared bankrupt or insolvent or goes into liquidation; 

B. if the Team or a principal partner withdraws from the UCI Team and the continuity of the Team is not guaranteed or else if the UCI Team announces its dissolution, the winding up of its activities or its inability to meet its commitments; should this be announced for a given date, the Rider shall continue to perform the contract until that date. 

C. in the event of serious misconduct on the part of the Team. Serious misconduct is considered to include a failure to permit the Rider, despite his repeated requests, to participate in competitions over a continuous period in excess of six weeks or over four discontinuous periods of seven days each, during which periods at least one one-day race on the continental calendar took place.

If need be, the Rider shall be required to prove that he was in no state to compete in a race. 

3. Either party shall be entitled to terminate the present contract, without notice or liability for compensation, should the Rider be rendered permanently unable to exercise the occupation of professional cyclist.
